Using Photographs and Artifacts to Spark Creativity

Send us a text

"Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore the power of storytelling and how sharing your journey can create a lasting impact. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re talking about a creative and deeply personal way to bring your stories to life: using photographs and artifacts to spark creativity.

Sometimes, the hardest part of writing isn’t the storytelling itself—it’s getting started. We sit down, ready to put words on the page, but our minds go blank. That’s where visual and physical reminders—old photographs, letters, keepsakes, even an old ticket stub—can help unlock memories, emotions, and inspiration.

Every object carries a story. A black-and-white photo of your grandparents might transport you back to the family stories you heard as a child. A military medal might remind you of the sacrifices made by past generations. Even a simple handwritten note can stir emotions that lead to a powerful piece of writing.
