On the making of Tribute in Light.

[Your introduction here — what drew you to this project, what you were doing there that night, how the idea formed.]

[What you noticed about how people were interacting with the memorial — the selfies, the documenting, the influencers posing, the genuine grief, the phones held up like candles or shields.]

[The recursion of it — photographing people photographing. What does it mean to document an act of documentation? Is witnessing a form of participation or consumption? Both?]

[Technical notes if you want them — camera, settings, how you approached the shots without being intrusive, the ethics of photographing strangers in a moment of public mourning.]

[What you learned, what you're still thinking about, what the images don't show.]
