1 Picture, 528,000 Words

2026-09-28


Hi there - we just wrote a new essay.

In the summer, we ran a writing contest called 1Picture1000Words where many people (528 people!) wrote 1,000 words about a boring photo of a dog.

We read all of them.

So… What is it like to read 528,000 words about the same photo? What weird observations do we have? What common patterns showed up? You can read more about that here. (We also share links to the winners.) Until next week,

- Carter and Jordan
