No Picture

No Picture I am not taking your picture. You think my camera is pointed at you, it appears as though my finger may trigger the shutter at any second. I am not taking your picture. I want your candid shot. I want you posed, playful or annoyed, ready and unprepared, over and over. In color and black and white blurry and in focus. I am not taking your picture. My lens is wide and long, my mind’s eye quick with recollection mental film imperfect. But you, my love, fill every frame perfectly, with or without an exposure. I am not taking your picture.
