Empathy of Truth
10 June 2006

Pictures in visions
photographs of proof
Evidence of good and evil
photos to sell for blood

This empathy of truth
another element to take
Was it for nationality
or another reason to survive

Hope, hate and pride
those marriages on record
Some broken, other hurt
the pain all solemn to last

Pictures of love
pictures in love
Those visions of love making
photographs in images retain

“‘To the complaint, ‘There are no people in these
photographs,’ ‘I respond, ‘There are always
two people: the photographer and the viewer.’”
Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)
US nature photographer
