fh1805 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Whilst working my way through the folders on my hard-drive I came across this poem that I originally wrote in 2005 as a contribution for the Newletter of my local Photographic Society.MY CAMERA AND MEIt seems such a long time, together we’ve been,The faraway places, the things that we’ve seen.We’ve walked beside rivers, along sandy shore,Through forests and woodland and very much more.We’ve been to some places where strange things are found.We’ve even been brave and gone deep underground.All over this wide world together we’ve roamed.Along local beaches together we’ve combed.We’ve photographed Huntcliff at Saltburn by seaWe’ve done this together – my camera and meWe’ve been good companions for many a yearWe’ve travelled all over and shown little fear.We’ve confronted wildlife that’s wanted a fightWe’ve huddled together from things in the night.We’ve been to the deserts where air’s hot and dry.We’ve been where the mountains reach up to the sky.From Antarctic ice-cap where snow meets the seaTo Canada’s arctic- as cold as can be.Africa, India, and the “Land of the Free”,We’ve been there together – my camera and me.And now we’ve a new pal, a digital friendWho makes it quite easy, our pictures to mend.He takes away dust and the scratches that showHe brightens the colours – but you’d never know.He works well with music and images too.It seems there’s no limit to what he can do?The world is our oyster as onwards we goCollectively building our next AV show.Where once there were two of us now there are threeThose good friends: my laptop, my camera – and me.regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevans Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Peter,Very good. Photographer, PTE guru and poet as well. Very impressive. I think it would make a good introduction to a menu slide for all your shows.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I agree Jeff. Now Peter has made a PTE of the poem, he could easily use that as his "cover" show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
