A good photograph tells a story. A collection or series of good photographs can tell a story, too. I became interested in digital storytelling after I attended my first workshop almost 5 years ago. Here are some digital storytelling links that might help you get started:
Examples of Digital Stories
Jeff Curto's Digital Storytelling web page is a good starting place. I thought Fish and Pictures would be particularly interesting to photographers.
Take some time to tour through Daniel Meadows Photobus website. He has wonderful stories and photographs.
Flickr's group Tell a Story in 5 Frames (Visual Storytelling) provides guidelines towards the bottom of their group page that you might find helpful.
Digital Storytelling Resources
Great podcast with guidelines, a little over 60 minutes long The Digital Photography Show #47: How to Tell a Story in Pictures with Bobbi Lane
The Digital Storytelling Cookbook provides the ingredients and a recipe for creating a digital story. Some links are broken, but it's still a good resource.
The Center for Digital Storytelling emphasizes personal voice. Examples and resources.

Don't be fooled. The Adobe Digital Kids Club web page is not just for kids...
