Yesterday,
when I couldn’t even
barely talk,
I tried to explain
How ink holds to bond,
blue changes white,
flowers break stones…
Why my eyes fall
off of the pale sky,
landing on my muddy boots.
My arms ached after
carrying my son
as far as I could
up tangled animal tracks;
One day after the rain,
One day before the sun,
warmer, but still not dry…
And it was late,
so I failed to explain how
In winter, we breathe smoke
and squint in the candlelight,
laboring against the dark.
In Summer, we smell the flowers
and sit, halfway to the sky
on mountain tops.

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.
