So it's said and so I've heard,
In all pictures I've taken and seen,
A story is told in between,
It isn't the sharpness or tint or light,
The shading or whether its dark or its bright,
It's the subject in it that captures your mind,
The movement in it that is gently outlined,
Reminding you that there are other views,
Another way of looking for clues,
To one it may seem flat or dreary
But to another the angle has changed the story,
So to hell with technicalities like exposure,
Or changing the settings for better aperture,
If it helps you ease your modern mind,
Make you think it makes pictures divine,
Go ahead and toy with the dials,
Call me a fool, an ignorant child,
I'll take my stories and frame them my way,
The equations and settings are thrown away,
If quality is all that you seek,
Then that quality makes your story weak,
For all is lost and all dies,
The innocence lost from the camera's eyes.
