Around the World in Black and White, First Edition

Photography and Poetry

“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.” – Susan Sontag

Around the World in Black and White, First Edition

On the busy streets of London
There is no time for boredom
While roaming the ancient ruins for Greece
Breathe and let the moment freeze
Sailing the gorgeous lakes in Italy
Watching the clouds filling the sky to affinity
Sightseeing, travelling or shopping
There is no time for stopping
Around the wide wide world
Me and my camera are hurled

Sky’s Gray Shroud

Photography and Poetry

“Gray skies are just clouds passing over” Duke Ellington

Sky’s Gray Shroud

Up up high
Grayness, filling the sky
Wrapping it tight
Dark as night
Into a shroud
Filled with clouds

Picnic in July, Finnish style

Poetry and Photography

“In the bible it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. They called it disaster. In Finland we call it summer!”

Picnic in July, Finnish style

Going on a picnic
Come snow, hail or shine
After all, it is still July
Hoping not to get sick
Sitting on the beach
Shivering with cold
The warmth at arms reach
It’s summer I was told
Not time for mission abort
Should not have worn shorts
The rain soon falls
Drops like thick walls
Clothes getting wetter
Running to shelter
Looking for a hide
Getting inside
Cold and wet
And unfed
Cursing and swearing
Of this life unfairing
Looking outside again
Hoping no more rain
What the f…k?
The sun is back up!

Sunrays

Photography and Poetry

“The sun is new each day” Heraclitus

Sunrays

Trying to catch a glimpse
Of the last sun sparkles
Before they shrink
Into complete darkness

Red, Photography and Poetry

Photography and Poetry

“Red is the ultimate cure for sadness” Bill Blass

Red

Seeing red?
Hoping for something else instead?
What can I say
I like to play
Red is red is red
Maybe you should have stayed in bed
So like it or not
Here are the shots

Sepia, Photography and Poetry

Photography and Poetry:  The Clinic /Photo Rehab

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia” Ellen Hopkins

Sepia

The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last

Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart

Black hole Sun

Poetry and Photography

“The sun is gone, but I have a light” Kurt Cobain

Black hole Sun

Not the expected bright
Only as black as night
Supposed to be daylight
No use to put up a fight
Maybe later there is a slight
Chance of sunlight
