The site's emphasis on group activity may scare some away, but I can not only imagine that this would be easy to do on a one to one level, I realize I've casually done it throughout my years of companionship with my mother. As well, the site offers, for free, a file of 8 downloadable pdf images <a href="http://www.timeslips.org/resources/sample_images.html" rel="nofollow">TimeSlips Samples</a> to get you started.

I mention this site because I scanned Proboscis.org and wasn't able to easily find much in the way of technique, even though they mention something about "Urban Tapestries", which I believe is also mentioned at TimeSlips. However, TimeSlips gives lots of hints on how to use pictures to stimulate imagination and memory, even and especially with the unusually mentally creative old. I recently ran across the following website which encourages the use of a similar technique:
