It's hard to define the parameters, and even hard to describe how to do it, but it's always easy to show someone a bad example of it.S. L.

It's hard to know what to put on paper and what should remain in my mind. In other words, sometimes it's hard to know what's too much.

It's about the little details--and I don't mean architectural features. I mean a candy bar wrapper skittering down a street when the wind blows. I mean the sound of a forklift backing up inside a warehouse. I mean the hard edge of an office chair and the coffee cup stain on a restaurant table cloth.
