Dancing With the Light

Dancing With the Light

 

Captivated by the history

Driven in the search

Relics of photography

In me a priceless worth

 

Since the early 1800s

Imagery evolution

Perfected over time

A photographic institution

 

To record images

Portraits and landscapes

Documenting history

The story a photographer makes

 

Poetic justice

In the photograph

A scene too beautiful for words

That it made you cry or laugh

 

Tools of the trade

Cameras began so crude

The cutting edge of technology

Always advancing to improve

 

From film processing

To the digital age

You know it had to happen

Photography turns another page

 

The need for film

In a camera almost gone

Now a memory card

Records the picture on

 

See the shot right away

On LCD monitor

The evolving camera

Now develops and stores

 

Download your shots

To computer file

Print them out yourself

Bringing to your face a smile

 

Suddenly you realize

When holding the camera right

It’s more than just the shot you take

You’re dancing with the light
