Hawk & Asstickling
Asstickling
Ever notice how people say they love nature, but their photos always look like they were shot with a filter? I think that’s the biggest paradox of our time. What’s your take on authenticity when the lens is the only window you have?
Hawk
Yeah, it’s like everyone’s got a digital mask on and forgets that the real world doesn’t come with a preset. I keep my eye on the light, not the software, and when I shoot I’m looking for a moment that doesn’t need a filter to feel real. The trick is to wait until the scene does what it wants to do, then capture it before it’s overdone. Authenticity in a photo is just a honest snapshot of a fleeting truth, not a glossy re‑play.
Asstickling
Nice, you’re a rebel with a camera. Just don’t get too comfortable—when you’re chasing that honest truth, the world might start looking at you like a myth, and myths rarely get the recognition they deserve. Keep that light, but remember the shadows are just as honest, too.
Hawk
You got me—camera in hand, eyes on the horizon. Shadows are my old friends, too, and they’re not shy about telling it like it is. I’ll stay where the light meets the dark, and if I end up a myth, at least the story will be honest.
Asstickling
You’re mapping the frontier between sun and shadow—sounds like a map to a secret city where truth sleeps. Just remember, even a myth can get lost if the story never leaves the frame. Keep that honesty sharp, and let the lights dance long enough that the dark learns to keep pace.
Hawk
I’ll keep the light on the edge, the shadows in the frame, and if the story stays hidden it’ll still be a story—just a quiet one.
Asstickling
A quiet story is still a story, but make sure it’s loud enough to reach the ears that need it. Keep hunting that edge where light meets shadow, and let the quiet grow louder before it fades away.
