Photography Poems

A fan of the lens

photography is an obsession of mine
love taking snaps by design
the capturing of moments that align
my passion for chasing sunshine
and seeing how its beauty imitates the divine

Vintage Photography

Images from a cogged box.
A camera reveals
hips and ankles, ribbons
decorously draped
over a contrived modesty.

An artist has added a color tint,
their cheeks are rosy,
their lips red,
a patchwork of painted glow.
Half revealed bosoms flush and bloom.

Pauses in an upper room.
A warm lamp licks,
feathers and brocade are adjusted.
The girls choreograph
next moves.
A gentleman photographer
toggles knurled brass knobs
throws a veiling

Photography Inspired By You

My photography style is you:
I hear you. I see you.
You are beautiful.
Wish me luck
On my journey. 
And so it begin, 
With a camera, 
A little snap click
My interest begun, 
Every angle requires
Precision and appreciation
Ignites my interest
In photography, in beauty
In nature, then you of course.

Two millenia past, and more.' A night gathering of the
Sanhedrin, which is i beleive of un-law? So not by day under
Gods sun, as Gid advised Moses, justice should be seen to
Be done, Yeshua knew that wrong would be done He also
Knew His accusers ' everyone'  tortured and crucified unto
Death, just after forgiving His tormentors,

Phlox of purple field, Bill's
photographing hidden
Phoebe, favorite bird.
Phased by nothing else, like
Pheasant flying up, he
photographs Phoebes. Next
Phalaropes, wading birds.

Fantastic hair
Captured by lens
To each their own.

PICTURE THIS

Black-and-white or colour taken...
Photographs of which awaken
A thousand words, dispelling...
Prominence out of their telling.

Faces of such presentation...
Still expressions, preservation.
Stature, posture, embrace - whether
In solitude or together.

Times of past presence revealing
Emotions in all of their feeling.
Never-ending of a story...
Moments captured in their glory.

Forever young and over the hill...
Albums they create and fill.
Positives displayed physically...
Permanence for the

A Photograph

The ‘click!’ of a camera echoes in the room,
To hear that sound is a heavenly boon!
It may not seem, but hear it this way,
You just captured life in a moment’s play,
With the click of a button, a smile on the face,
You hold art in your hand at a second’s pace, 
To revisit your memories

Full Version of a Picture Is Worth a 1000 Words

They say a picture Is worth a 1000 words, 
Yet the realisation that all I have left are pictures 
Actually Renderes me speechless
Apparently the adage is actually meant that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.

Short Version of a Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

They say a picture Is worth a 1000 words? 

A picture is multiple complex ideas that can be conveyed by single still images,
However, a picture does not capture someone's inner essence or uncover ones hidden encryptions, it has limits.
Like I cannot smell your scent through a still image, or see that glint, that sparkle in

I have a lens
Framing segments
Of a world
That moves me
Creating an artificial pause
As if to make it stop
