behind the camera scenes comes to life click of the shutter opens to capture the light eye distinguishing yielding lights and shadows in black and white a stolen flawless piece of time, a study in still life kept captive, alive for all time entangled in the mine relieving memories of the past photos unblemished echo captivating the present softly appealingly art works of inspiration place In a frame on the wall or in an album By Eve Roper 3/18/2015

Photography can keep our memories "alive for all time", so we can share them with future generations... You've done a really great job with this theme. I can see the picture so clearly! Congrats on the win!

Congratulations, Eve. Love the way the poem elevates the trifles of every-day snapshots to art, just like black-and-white photography does.

This is a fitting poem to go with the black & white theme, Eve. Each photo is a 'stolen' split of a second which, in return, can last for ages. Best of luck! // paul

Thank you, Paul, for your encouragement. At first, many Native Americans were wary of having their photographs taken and often refused. They believed that the process could steal a person's soul and disrespected the spiritual world. Blessings & hugs
