Do things get clearer as you close distance and approach? An object in motion remains in constant motion. The line it draws is straight unless acted on by an unbalanced force. When cause skews the light or the viewfinder or the usual schedule? A boy struggles to disarm the stranger bent on doing harm. When you see the future it seems such an ordinary moment— a man hesitates at the loading platform, a child's face presses against glass. Doors whir close then open, as though they chose who should get on, who gets left behind.
