Photography Without Rules
if it’s just about the photography experience
The Joy of Light
We are all grass
Among many grasses
The lone portrait
Is a lie
We live
Among the thickets
Thriving
In the dust
Always at the ready
To fight or die
In darkness
Death keeps us still
In deep shadows
We grope
For knowledge
And assurance
When the light comes
We rejoice
The celebration
Of life
Of color
Of comforting revelation

You were there
Watching me skip stones
Falling headlong
Into cold waters
Learning to swim
Learning to drown
You were there
Last night
Hiding in the reeds
Reflections
Slapping me
Out of it
Awake now.
See you
Tomorrow
what is a meta for?
if it’s not a metaphor, if it’s not an analogy
maybe it’s an anaphor…metagy?
double exposure photograph and some applied textures
The marsh is a library of good reads!
When you only have a very limited amount of time to make photo impressions at the end of the day….ya work with what you get. Lots of shadows and some opportunity for outside-of-the-box work. Embrace the darkness!
Watching you by the water’s edge
As you looked for answers
And pondered your reflection
Will I always consider
Life this way?
What will I look like
When I grow old?
Little fish
Swam away
At your Approach
And a touch of sadness
Nicked at your heart
How I wished
I could be that
Strong bough
Over your head
Over your life
To stop the pains
To shield and defend
At every turn
To obliterate
Any who do not
Respect your gentleness
Not to be
Not to be
If you are to become
A bough of strength
For others
