What is a picture memoir?

A "picture memoir" is a memoir that is mostly based on photographs. it's a collection of photos that have accompanying text. It's also more often called a "photo memoir."

You could think of a photo memoir as being inbetween a photo album and a book, becuase it has more information about photos than a photo album provides, but less than a book because the photos provide much of the information for the writer, which can make a photo memoir easier to write.

Pictures help provide the details of the people or places, so that the writer only has to fill in the story of the photo. If the photo shows a young boy in blue shorts with blond har, then the writer only has to tell who the boy and what he was doing. The description of the boy and his mood and surroundings is provided by the photo.
