Photography

The world at her fingertips
She decides what to immortalize
The angle the depth the scope the filter

She captures the soul of what’s before her
To put on display as she wishes
In more or less subtle terms

Her own inner beauty’s
What truly shines through

I tried to make this a FAV two times in a row. I had forgotten that i had my own darkroom in my house once upon a time. I prided myself on a cat photo I took lying in the grass, waiting for the cat to move. It meant everything to my daughter who left cat with us 4 years while she was in the Air Force.

Wow I am so happy my poem resonated with you. I would love to see your cat photo. You might enjoy my poem entitled 'Phtography Meraki'.

A heart photographer is every bit as true an artist as a painter! "Your own inner beauty that shines through."
