Fences ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #356
Sundered fences
Leave me vulnerable
To intimacy
And possibility
So I shore them up
Defend against
Betrayals
And failure
Hoping all the while
Someone will breach them
Armed with no more
Than love and compassion
Proximate Intimacy
Proximate intimacy
The kinship felt by being close
Without touching
Even among strangers
It’s strange to live day after day
Without the physical nearness
Of another human being
Fucking virus
When Strangers Become Kin
Among the many magics
Of brandishing a camera
Amongst a crowd of strangers
Is that someone, always
Steps out of the crowd
Offers an intimate glimpse
Into the nature of their being
Of brandishing a camera
Amongst a crowd of strangers
Is that someone, always
Steps out of the crowd
Offers an intimate glimpse
Into the nature of their being
In that instant of friendship
The camera records a kind of kinship
Which is eternal and universal
I think every photographer must know
We are all much more alike
Than we are different
People ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #119
Landscapes, abstracts and architecture, a world of line and form, texture and atmospheric mood. A vision intended to evoke sensations, even emotions in the viewer, especially wonder, awe and appreciation of beauty. Camera in hand, this is the vision I seek to express through the lens.
Intimate Strangers
Straddling the concrete median
Westbound on my left
Eastbound on my right
Congested endless streams
Westbound on my left
Eastbound on my right
Congested endless streams
Faces and life stories
Pedaled by
Captured in moments
Of pixels
Then a camera
Pointed back at me
Capturing a moment
Of a moment being captured
Our cameras lowered
A smile, a laugh, and a wave
We four strangers
In a moment of intimacy shared
A Moment in Passing ~ Captured
A moment
A flash in passing
From a train window
A flash in passing
From a train window
A shawl
A dress
A woman
Old?
Yes
An old woman
Blending into the landscape
Now gone
Faster than you’ve read this
And soon enough
Forgotten
Vast Beauty
I don’t need to see very far
Or with much clarity
To know the vastness
Of the ocean
Or with much clarity
To know the vastness
Of the ocean
I don’t need to look very deeply
Or with much intimacy
To know the beauty
Of every living being
Arching Caress
She gasped with every page turned, taking in each image with surprise, joy, fascination. Then, she stopped, on this portfolio page. “Beautiful,” she said. Her eyes followed the arching steel once, before she touched the photograph. She touched it, tracing the arc of it slowly, deliberately, as if she could feel the smooth metal beneath her fingers. It was the kind of caress you give someone you’re passionate for, someone you’ve wanted, someone you’re touching for the very first time.
