Close Up Lens

Photographs are memories of life developed in dark rooms of reflection Exposure and fixation for a moment and beyond A couple holding firm their togetherness covered in aquamarine hues Blue focus a moon the earth horizon and foothold Some of them require no more than an aperture and infinite moment Whichever way you turn them they shed intricate light The centre remains where all angles meet regardless of perspective Like a Rorschach Test with one half missing Azure Cyan and Sapphire shades condensed on a palette in motion A kiss and embrace hanging from film clips waiting to dry Stop bath fixer and final rinse then reality immortalizes another illusion Cerulean dreams held by intimate clouds and lips intertwined A picture in which artist and models change positions and convergence Glimpse of concern and subtle impermanence Turquoise surrender and teal skies as comets lie in passionate waiting Spectre and shadows solemnly overcast and yet translucent Captured on chromogenic paper and free as the stars nevertheless A picture holds pure truth while the Universe shifts 26th January 2020
