Short journal · Original editorial · The honest caption

A photograph contains a chair beside a closed window.

An image can invite an interpretation without proving it. Begin with visible details, then mark any imagined story as imagined. A careful caption adds context while preserving the uncertainty outside the frame.

Describe the arrangement before inventing an absent owner.

Try the change once before turning it into a permanent routine. Keep the part that helps and revise the part that does not.
