Photography We stop time when the Shutter captures its image Keep a little piece of yesterday for Tomorrow A segment of the past for The future We are immortal in our Pictures Sustained by mere Clicks of a button A here and now thing Only forever Camera flash keeping the night day in Our memories Allowing us to retain what We would otherwise forget The developing of film and the Developing of ourselves A unique intermingling of Plastic and flesh caught in The moment What a brilliant Invention |

Yay!!! And what more, when you write of what your heart feels and all the thoughts that fill your soul, that too, my friend, is a brilliant invention, as poetry is the language of the gods and create and paint images like photographs! This is a wonderful debut, I LOVE IT!!! Welcome to Passions, sweet friend, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I marvel at photographs of people long gone...their second in life captured for eternity. Will someone look at my pictures and wonder about my life?? Contabo |

Thanks Noah, for the nice welcome! And Contabo--I'm sure somebody will see a photo of yours years from now and value what it contains. |

Lisa, WELCOME TO PASSIONS IN POETRY I hope you like it here as much as I have this past month and a half (almost). I like your poem. I really love pictures, too. They really do capture the memories, don't they? Thanks for sharing your poem. I look forward to reading more of your work. "Love makes the world go around" |

Lisa, I enjoyed this so very much this morning. On the wall in our upstairs hallway is a collage of all old pictures of our relatives dating back to my great-great grandparents who came over from Scotland. They are such a treasure. Welcome to Passions and I look forward to reading more of your poems. Hugs, Marti "I am not afraid of STORMS |

Thanx for the compliment! I think this is a neat forum, and look forward to reading its many entries and coming upon some talented writers. If the world didn't have writers to make music of everything from love to hate to misfortune, etc. via their words, what a boring place it would be huh!?! |

Lisa~ Welcome to the circle of poets and friends~ Photographs are time-capsuled moments to be treasured~ Enjoyed the nostalgia of your thoughts~ Time marches on until the magic of the camera commands HALT ... Then time stands still ... foreverly~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Thanks! I think photography, just like poetry, is a wonderful means of capturing moments and making them eternities!! How can most people prefer sports (BLARGGGHHHH)to this great stuff we call art?! Eh, guess not everyone has good taste like us huh? hahaha "Write what you feel, not what u think you should feel." |
