“What do you think you can capture in the dark?’”
“The deepest and darkest side of human nature….. a thief on the prowl to earn a living, the Tantric who deserted his family, hedonists enjoying nightlife, and tears shed when nobody’s watching them….. the tiny lights look like stars in the picture.”

“I’ll remove the noise from the picture, and then add some grain so that it looks good. Attractive granular finish, with depth and dimensions…… it is for my next project – the picture novella.”
“So you are fed up of being the first four you described?”

Ooh! Her friend doesn’t think much of her, does he?
