Picture-Taking

On a summer break from college, When I traveled ‘cross the sea, My new Instamatic camera Made the trip (plus film) with me. Later on, I graduated To a camera with a case And the kind of film you had to wind, Much harder to replace. Thus, for parties or vacations, I would always be prepared To snap pictures then make copies So the images were shared. That was all before our cell phones Came with cameras installed. Now I’m always at the ready If a photo moment’s called. When technology’s updated, I am mostly quite inept, But I so prefer my iPhone To the cameras I once schlepped.
