The Camera In My Hands

The Camera in my hands as I gaze upon you
What can I capture forever
I want to capture the essence of you
As you go about your life
Doing ordinary things doing extraordinary things
Doing big things and small
I want to capture you relaxing
Show you as you actually are in all your states
Happy sad anxious busy uncertain laughing
Washing and ironing
Bathing and drying
Waking and sleeping
Putting makeup on and taking it off

I want to capture your face as you model for me
To use a tripod so I can talk to you intimately
So I can tell a story simply by looking at you

I want to learn how to photograph you to bring the best out in you
Can you learn to pose for me
Are you willing to go with the flow
To see yourself as no one has ever seen you before
