Masses of visitors approach Hanoi's Temple of Literature at Tet, the Chinese New Year. Although there are actually less than twenty five people in this picture, their placement in the frame implies that there are many more than that. They flow towards me, and then seem to continue beyond the confines of my image. This is largely because I have pushed both the bottom and right hand edges of my frame into the crowd to funnel it into the lower right corner. I leave no space around them except at left , which gives form to this long line of visitors.
