Stunning. Lyrical, tender, and so intimate.

I found myself feeling Nelson’s style of writing the same way I feel Ocean Vuong’s—deep and engrossing, and often so delicate in portraying emotions.

Also, as a film photographer myself, he really described the experience better than I could ever hope to so that was a nice surprise!
