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
