I hope to live to be 100 minus one day,

My camera
is just like a dog:
Eager to please.
But sometimes
when I point it towards a
little miracle
all it sees
is my finger.
I suppose that's
what all the advanced
lenses and filters are about.
And when the camera loves you
it's canine devotion
is whole-hearted
as it is
fleeting.
ALOHA, cloudia
many a camera has caught my finger to, especially them that are trying to pose me.
ReplyDeleteGOOD POST HI REGARDS
ReplyDeleteLove those last lines. Aloha back!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Which makes me think of all the 35 mm photos in the albums that have fingers in them. Remember when there was no correcting that stuff. I like to think dad (he took the photos) was so focused on us that he didn't notice. (Not that we were fussy and he had to move quickly, of course....)
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Cloudia! Aloha!
ReplyDeleteI used to be impressed, b ut it's now way beyond impressive. How do you keep it up?

ReplyDeleteI'll have to ask Lana if she personifies her camera. Otherwise it sounds just a bit hallucinatory! :)
ReplyDeleteNever thought of a camera as a faithful friend.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post, as always.
