first of all, mad props to you! i can never ever read stories about photography and enjoy them b/c i have a BA in photography so i end up just nit picking everything and getting too annoyed to even finish and i also feel inadequate b/c i'm not doing shit with my degree atm OTL. but i read this all the way through and enjoyed every moment. you obviously know enough about photography to write it in a detailed and accurate way which was so refreshing. i still felt inadequate for not practicing photography now, but that's not your fault! lol OTL and it also let me have flashbacks to art school i haven't shot film in SO LONG. i'm a studio/commercial(fashion) photographer...er....when i'm actually pursuing photography which isn't happening now...but anyway, digital is just more practical for that (and i'm in a very deep and meaningful relationship with photoshop) but this really had me missing the darkroom! the smell of fixer is wonderful. and made me want to just wander around and take pictures of whatever strikes my fancy which i really haven't done in ages. but enough about me! OTL this was just...so wonderful. i loved all the quotes interspersed as well as the occasional flashback and dream sequences. they just added to the story and showed what you were writing about subtly in a way that just added to the forward moving plot and direct interaction of the characters. i love how you wrote jongin here. i always like how you write jongin. i think i've told you before, but you just write him exactly as i see him. with so many contradictions and so different from himself onstage, though obviously still connected to that version of himself with performing and dancing and charisma. i'm rambling. but i really am in love with how you write him. and i could visualize all of the photos that you described yixing taking of him. i would buy that photobook in a heartbeat! and not only because of my jongin feels lmao. okay this is really long and ramble-y and i'm not even sure that i've said what i wanted to say? so to sum up, this was absolutely beautiful! i enjoyed it so much and i look forward to any and all exo fics you write in the future! ♥
