Camera
May 8, 2016
Click.
The camera flashes.
A moment frozen in time.
A smile. A laugh.
Forever remembered.
Posed.
Stand there. Shoulders back.
Look to the right.
Now smile.
Faked memories.
Flash.
Spontaneous.
Random smiles and laughs
captured in an image
Never ending.
Memories
played back.
Remembered.
That smile never fades.
The laugh never dies.
Eternal.
Click.
A picture.
One second of your life
means so much more.
It tells a story.
Your story.
Click.
The camera flashes.
You didn't know.
The smile is real.
You aren't looking at the camera.
And those are the pictures that mean the most.

I enjoy photography and my favorite photos are the ones that weren't planned. The ones that happened by accident or the ones of people's real reactions. Not the ones that are posed, where someone is being told to smile
