THE MESSAGE — (a letter that changes the whole thing:1.3) a soldier from a war not yet fought — a small cage carrying a songbird of a lost species — photographing a street that will be gone — at a domed city under a second sun with the message the brightest thing. elegiac for what is about to happen urgent and doomed. (Tight composition on the paper and the face, the era dim behind). an 85mm at f/1.8 for the close portrait, a wide frame with the eras colliding. BREAK a hand holding something anachronistic the paper's fold; cobbles beside poured concrete, frost on a machine that runs warm of the desk it sits on; a bird of a species that is gone, a dog indifferent to which year a moth at the lamp. sail and satellite above one harbour the era's dark interior. a note in the traveller's own handwriting, a photograph with the subjects removed, a journal entry dated next year, a ring sized for a hand not yet born, a pressed flower of an extinct species BREAK frost glinting on a warm engine, brass catching an impossible light, a filament bright in a machine the lamp on the page. (time travel, letter, urgent, cinematic:1.2) ink-and-wash of a city across millennia.
