Elegy for a Photographer
He never liked Photoshop.
“A picture’s gotta tell the truth”, he’d say.
So his pictures were always in color,
The sunsets always truly orange
The evenings just as dark as they wished.
But now his shutter eyes have closed
In a final photograph.
This time, black and white.
And its been laid on top of the stack
Of all that color.
Has it photoshopped everything now,
That last picture?
Where are the sunsets truly orange?
Where are the evenings just as dark as they wish?
No, he never did like Photoshop.
A picture’s gotta tell the truth, just like he said.
Even this one.
