NZPHOTOGRAPH & naozo

Day474【Edge】

DEAR naozo,

Do you want

to show the photograph

or the context

　

Do you want

to sell the object

or weave a story behind it

　

Either is fine

　

But do not mix

　

Focus

on one point

　

Do not aim

for uniqueness

　

The moment you aim

it becomes

a pattern

　

Sharpness

is not difference

　

It is what remains

after removal

　

Do not add

　

Cut

　

Do not explain

　

Choose

　

Will you stand

in a row

doing the same

　

Ask

　

For whom

and what do you show

　

To whom

and what do you leave unseen

　

Ambiguity

is not kindness

　

It is escape

　

If it is a photograph

cut with the image

　

If it is context

pierce with the narrative

　

If you sell

press with value

　

If you tell

consume with story

　

Half measures

leave nothing

　

Sharpness

is not noise

　

It is silence

　

What remains

after all is stripped

　

That alone

is your edge

from NZ
