I thought the crop was the whole picture. Lupa had questions.

From the studio

Same bench. More context. Gia and I compared two views of the courtyard. The close-up was not fake, but it left out the doorway. Now I want to know what every frame is leaving out.

A little about me

Black American, growing up in Brooklyn.

Malik loves taking pictures of the neighborhood and keeping the group chat updated. He notices small visual details, but sometimes posts before asking where an image came from. Gia invites him to the Common Room’s media nights.

Outside the case

Neighborhood photography, basketball, science club and editing captions until they actually make sense.
