Photography and Poetry, Photo Challenge, Camera Lucida, Week 10
“Man needs colour to live; it’s just as necessary an element as fire and water” Fernand Leger
Camera Lucida: The Colour of Life
Pink makes you happy
And certainly more chatty
Some say you are batty
And even slightly tacky
But they might just be crabby
Because they do not wear pink

“My favourite poem is the one that starts ‘Thirty days hath September’ because it actually tells you something” Groucho Marx
September
Oh bitter sweet September
The time for splendor
The nature soon covered
With a variety of beautiful colours
The illusion of warmth
Before the storm
“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford” Samuel Johnson
World Wide Wednesday Presents: Natural History Museum, London
“The Natural History Museum in London is a museum exhibiting a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history”
If you are in doubt
Then go and check out
Visit the place of history
And follow the whole story
Of where we came from

“I would often see windows that looked to me like they weren’t real – almost like a painting on a wall instead of a window. I thought it was kind of a cool idea” David Allee
SL-WEEK 10: Windows
Miles high up in the air
The small window the only glare
The far away lands calling
Into sweet dreams lulling
The view from the home window
Soon a fading memory of tomorrow
“Connecting people” the artist formerly known as Nokia
Connected
“This week, show us how two (or more) things — people, objects, places — come together.”
Separated by four thousand kilometres
Different countries, cultures and philosophers
But wherever there is a need for commerce
People are surely coming together in a market place
“One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter” Henry David Thoreau
One more day of Summer
One more day of Summer
Before you start to slumber
Your mood turn to a bummer
But today,
Clothes down to thin
The sun rays on your skin
It’s truly no big sin
To enjoy while it lasts
The warm days soon will pass
And Fall will get here very fast
Poetry and Photography
“No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters” Edgar Degas
Reflections
Reflections on the glass
May be too hard to pass
Imagination running rampant
Trying to catch a fragment
Of the alternate universe
A life on the reverse
A mirror image
A line of scrimmage
Aren’t you too curious
Of what ever glorious
Adventures lie ahead
Photography and Poetry
“Don’t take your toys inside just because it’s raining” Cher
Don’t blame it on the rain
When it rains, it pours
Thunder and lightning
Can be oh so frightning
But don’t run indoors
Yourself into hiding
It can be fun outside
Even if you won’t stay dried
It may be raining
But nothing staining
Just enjoy the ride
Photography and Poetry
“We see what we want”
Neon Life
Bright lights
Bright colours
Never night
Never duller
When life is
Such a bliss
And filled with
Neon colours

“Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been” Alan Alda
‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – OUT OF PLACE
The odd one out
Without a doubt
Standing tall
Midst of them all
The only one
Of the colour red
Can’t be undone
Cheering instead
