The Crack I Used to Crop Out

By River Stormcaller

I found this late last night and it quietly rearranged how I hold my camera. I have spent years cropping the flaws out of my own frames. The cracked wall, the crooked horizon, the half second where someone blinks. Wabi-sabi says the break is the honest part, and now I cannot stop seeing it in the desert light here in Santa Fe. If you have ever edited the truth out of your own picture, give this one twelve minutes.
