“A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words”
A picture is one of the most powerful things in existence. It acts as work of art, the result of countless experiments, and makes a statement all at the same time. But what happens if a single picture isn’t the whole picture? What if a picture has already explained so much, that it can’t explain itself anymore?
One would be correct in saying that a picture that can’t explain itself beyond what the picture provides is a bad picture. At the same time, a picture can be the most technically adept, well-composed, and otherwise conventionally beautiful picture, but not tell the full story of what happened at the scene.
For all intents and purposes, that’s not AI-generated. Nor anything I create for the public. That’s something I wrote myself two years ago. I swear this was some good shit when I wrote this. But it’s not.

About Clark Royandoyan
Clark Royandoyan is a Television, Photography, and Digital Media Production student at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York based in the NYC/NJ Metro area.
After falling into the rabbit hole of “K-pop music show camera work,” Clark has become determined to produce a K-pop group’s visit on a Western broadcast television appearance. He is the former technical producer of Ithaca College Television's sole morning news show "Good Day Ithaca" and previously a reporter and writer on "Good Day Ithaca" and writer on Black pop culture and entertainment show “Blacklisted." They are also an editor for K-Pop magazine The Kraze.
Clark can also be heard on the air for indie/alternative internet radio station VIC Radio hosting a weekly Asia-Pacific music show called “Pacific Ring of Fire" since the fall of 2023.
When Clark isn’t staring into Adobe Premiere Pro for ICTV, preparing for their radio show, or editing “Kraze” articles, you can most likely find him learning TikTok challenges to K-Pop songs to inevitably force their friends to learn with him with varying degrees of success.
