Introduction to 'War Photographer'
In the opening lines of 'War Photographer,' the poet describes the darkroom where the photographer develops photos of war zones. The room is quiet, shadowed, and filled with the scent of chemicals. The faint glow of the enlarger casts shifting shadows on the walls, and the photographer's hands tremble as he handles the photographs, each image holding a story of violence and pain. Outside, the world is unaware of the scenes captured within. The photographer pauses, contemplating the mystery of what remains unseen and unknown in the photographs, and the silence echoes with unspoken stories. The room is a space between worlds—one of memory, reality, and the unknown—where darkness conceals as much as it reveals.
