"After weeks of shooting direct flash on the edges of sweaty mosh pits, my back against a wall, I grew to see a kind of magic inside the frame, one I would understand only more fully as a writer: that though a work of art can be bolstered by context, there is just as much narrative propulsion, sometimes more so, when information is omitted - much like how haikus function via compression, images suddenly more luminous when isolated"-- Ocean Vuong, from text.
