Cameras/Photography

December 23camera,photography,rt,mirror portrait

I am thankful for cameras and photography. I don't really know what I would do without a camera, without photography. They seem so integral to me that I am not sure how I would survive without them. Maybe I'd learn to paint, draw, or something like that. It is my way of recording the things that I like. That is how this blog came into being.

I have developed a habit of photographing into a mirror to get a photo of my camera. It's my version of a "selfy" I guess. This is my Canon and me. I was trying for a serious look. 

wager

alone and forsaken by many

she was a maiden of untold beauty

he was a photographer by trade

photographs his self appointed duty

he said “i have got to shoot you”

if it’s the very last thing that i do”

she shook her head and said

“only at the moment that i am dead

for i am not photogenic

nobody has a good photo produced

for i am a terrible subject

no one has from me a good pic induced”

“but you have never had one such as i”

the photographer said with pride

“i am the very best there ever was

about this i have never lied

i will give you whatever you want

if i fail to succeed

just let me shoot you for 30 minutes

that will be all that i will need”

she said it was ok with a smirk

and agreed to his crazy demand

he asked “but if i succeed in making you look beautiful?”

she replied “i will promise to you my hand”

she modeled for him

while he snapped away

then brought with him

a single photo the very next day

she looked at it and broke down

it showed her beauty through and through

so they walked down the aisle together

for the pic had depicted her true.
