The moth is not dim or nocturnal.
It is oriented.
It does not decide to follow light. Orientation is built in. The moth navigates by the moon and by the geometry of the sky, something older than preference. A single bulb confuses it because it was never built to chase a point-source. It was built to hold a constant angle to something larger and keep its line.
That is what I want from the edit.
Not a style applied after the fact. A discipline that operates below decision. Light first. Even when the light is difficult. Even when the frame resists. Even when the obvious image is not the right one.
The moth also works in low light. That is where most photographs get decided. Dusk. Interiors. Weather that refuses to simplify itself. The bright, clean frame takes care of itself. The rest takes discipline.
And the moth is muted. It does not announce. It holds.
Not mystery. Orientation by light before anything else, and letting that orientation do the work.
This is the method behind Sightline.
