Ransom Riggs


Ransom Riggs is A very interesting person in my opinion. I found out that he was born and lived on a 200 year farm. He mainly got the idea from his books by the collection of photographs. In his first story which is called, Miss . Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children, Riggs got his photographs from  vernacular photographs. Closely related to vernacular photography is found photography, which in one sense refers to the recovery of a lost, unclaimed, or discarded vernacular photograph or snapshot. Found photos are often found at flea markets, thrift and secondhand stores, yard sales, estate and tag sales, in dumpsters and trash cans, between the pages of books, or on streets and sidewalks when you are walking. I think that this is very interesting and cool! His second story Hollow city came about by the photography by Harper Collins. I think that Ransom Riggs is an amazing writer who should write more stories.
