“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast”
Charles Dickens
Photo 101: Day 20: Day Twenty: Triumph & Contrast
Just black, white or gray
May lead you astray
But find the right contrast
And you may suddenly gasp
At the wonderful blast
Of colours beaming your way
Even on a dull, rainy day

“If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning” Mae West
Double Shots
Doing double shots
My eyesight soon a blur
Waiting for what might occur
Am I imagining things
Or is that really a bird with wings
Ancient tech
What the heck!
Mannequins of all shapes and sizes
Men in frocks
Or mummies in smocks
I need to cool down
And drive down town
Maybe just a dip in the pool
Make use of a communications tool
Invite some friends
Use my lens
And to snap a few more shots, double shots!

“Just do it” Nike
There is no Try, just Do
This morning I woke with a huff
Thinking I had had enough
Cranky tired, uninspired
Fully setup for a fail
Checking my email
Another assignment
What an annoyment
Not an idea in my head
Wanting to go back to bed
But the little sound
Getting more and more loud
Urging me to at least give it a try
Heck, it wasn’t as I was learning to fly
So I did and finally am completed
Even though feeling completely depleted
But still respective high
Now the sun has gone to rest
And soon so will I
I wish you one and all
A good night and all my best
Tomorrow another day to tackle
But that’s another story, another haggle
Photography 101: Day Nineteen: Double & Rotation
“Life is all about finding people who are your kind of crazy”
Two of a Kind
No better pair you will find
Than a two of a kind
They may not look the same
Or be built to similar frame
They may not always agree
The urge for fight or flee
But together they are strong
It even says so in the song
Side by side they stride
With a stance filled with pride

“Think, write, read, delete, repeat. Re-think, re-write, skip read, hit send” Gun Roswell
The Gun Roswell Show
(Sung into the tune of Itchy and Scratchy theme from the Simpson’s)
I type and write
I type and write and type
Type type type
Write write write
With the occasional click and shutter sound, when out walking in the sun…
Type type type
Write write write
This is the Gun Roswell show!
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it” Edith Wharton
Darkness and Light
Lurking in the shadows
In the darkest of places
A fleck of light emerges
Reaching out proudly
Out to the meadows
Up to the heavens
To the farthest corners
Daylight reaches
Without any breaches
Darkness and Light
Together they walk
Like Day and Night

“Living on the edge” Aerosmith
On the Edge
Sitting on the edge
On the top of the hedge
Staring at the skies
Oh, how time flies
Clouds of blue and white
Making me write
This little ditty
Of pictures ever so pretty
