#cameras

I remember the first time… I purchased a camera, It was a disposable one; bought to be taken and thrown away. That flimsy cheapskate, I took on a Year Nine bus excursion to Adelaide - Photos of friends, felines (seals, we went to the zoo) and feet (nail polish and toe rings were big back then!). I remember getting these snapshots developed and sticking them up on my wall, for a moment I was cool (ahem… ;p ) My second camera was a small, second-hand “Sony” with a sling that I held on to like a clutch. That one, I took black-and-white photos with; nostalgic, chronologuing my puberty years: first crushes, family events in the backyard, and of course “selfies” before they were a thing! My third camera… a Canon SLR… Oh, how I fell in love with her; sleek, strong and two lenses to capture the micro and macro views of history - the ultimate accessory! I also wore her like a handbag; it's all I needed for a time — This one captured my love of sunrises and sunsets - divine. I haven't worn her lately… The journey that I've had with my eyes has taken me by surprise, And grief ~ yes I am now naming it ~ has made the lenses not seem as clear, crisp…captivating — Is it time to take her out again and open the shutters once more?!

How I wish to be like the gems online, The girls and guys, the aesthetically pleasing How I wish to be more than average, To be wanted, liked Like the blooming flowers on the table, Or the dresses on the shelves To be sought after by boys and girls, To be invited To have smaller problems, less issues, To have privilege, opportunities, To be cared for and looked at How I would keep pictures and portraits How I wouldn’t avoid cameras, mirrors, How I would embrace it, express myself To be pretty like everyone else, Like the gemstones online To shine without struggle, To not be so lonely, limited, withdrawn

Lawrence Hall [email protected] Dispatches for the Colonial Office Point-and-Won’t-Shoot Camera The concept of the point-and-shoot camera obtains But a Me-‘Phone camera doesn’t see it that way I stopped to watch a bug-grazing bird Who approached me as if she wanted to visit I took out my Me-‘Phone for a photograph And it didn’t recognize my handsome face And I had to tap a four-digit code And the bird grew suspicious and flew away O Egret, in your beautiful brown and white - I truly understand your need for flight

All around campus there are these little black ***** like hanging alien eggs. Glossy, obsidian bubbles concealing cameras that record time-stamped, audio and hi-def video. Could this surveillance footage ever be sent to parents? Imagining letters sent to parents about campus/dorm surveillance Dear Mr & Mrs Vionet, we have observed countless kisses, disheveled morning walks and late night visits which indicate that your daughter is a scandalous little ***** We just wanted you to know, in case you want to know more. As campus security it’s part of our business to keep a full, digital record, detailing her sluttiness. Your friends in campus security. P.S. Would you care to donate to the University endowment fund?

Tryna to be a star ain't always wise, Tryna to be the center of attention is wise, All that attention you want ain't always safe, Sometimes you'll get more than you bargained for, Friends ain't always your friends, Jealousy gets the best of us, There's always someone who wants what you got, Stop being a show off, Keep your business your business. The loudest one in the room is always on notice, The weak ones are the loudest, The strong ones are the most silent, Being a celebrity ain't safe as you think, Cameras all in your face, Flashing lights all over your neighborhood, Bodies dropping left and right, The hype ain't always worth the cost. Staying to myself has kept me safe, Staying to myself has given me peace, Staying to myself has kept me living, Staying to myself has kept me from dying, The wrong crowd will have you caught, The ones who are the most friendly die sooner, The ones who are the most thirsty die sooner, The ones who love attention die sooner, Don't risk your life over fame, girls and money, Glamour ain't shiny as it seems.

I got the attention, but the wrong eyes were perving me, not the ladies but blue bottles eyes were looking me up and down.. I had nothing, but they were buzzing on me like I wanted to swat this swam that never stopped its blue luminosity. Handcuffing me to false accusations.. I was never there yesterday, wasn't there tomorrow. But you got witnesses that saw me there even though I was in a cell.. for being in a place you didn't like. But na bro.. I'm guilty cos the cameras were broken. And no one saw me in a cell, even though five of you carried me like I was drowning innocent. In blue swells of ******** a sea of setup lies. I'm here now, my first name Is innocence, surname is you ani't nothing on me. I'll always walk free, cos my footsteps never trod on this ground. And you got no steps that put me before the moment that you tripped up. I'm walking free, and your walking away..

I'm waiting with certain trepidation Assured my reality Is in for something big. The eleventh dimension Can't assuage my dread. There's something happening, As big as Dead. The cellphone's our new Nativity, Destroying my old myths; Where's the white salamander hurrying, Spirits hoovering, aliens lurking, Hairy bipeds in the forests, Yetis in the snow. Nothing soon forthcoming. It all looks like Alberta. I can't snap inside the sun, Nor freeze-frame a revolution; Or the moment one feels love; But truth is self-evident. And the facts are yet to come. All the best stories, My life-changing beliefs, Need one still, a black and white will do; Til then, I'll suspend Disbelief, And sustain credence, Close to the dark room. Then we'll be the Magi, Bowing, grovelling, Awed and surprised.

All of these eyes on me I want to disappear With nothing to see But still be here I can feel the taping As messages are sending All the cameras snapping The eyes never relenting How can I be guided When I can't find closure By getting reminded Of all my failures Everything is permanent And I can't escape When I'm sinking in concrete With everyone on tape I want to disappear And live how I want to I want to live freer Act in a way that's true

Photos haunt me like the souls of fresh corpses memories Victims of time. The ink poured and pooled on my floor Smiles vanishing past all the gore. Polaroids, Polaroids Help Me Forget! Loving him was my biggest regret.

In front of the flashing lights We were arm in arm Your boyish grin and my bashful blush Perfectly frozen for everyone to see It matters not what will happen To the people that we are As long as this becomes My memory of you and I

I'm a casual, lenient soul But when it comes to my words I mean them with a heavy heart I'm looking for a good time but its not what you think I'm looking for someone to turn these boring drags into something worth holding onto. A memory lane that goes too long to develop it all on camera.

Memory Lane (Developing The Old Cameras)

I'm a casual, lenient soul But when it comes to my words I mean them with a heavy heart I'm looking for a good time but its not what you think I'm looking for someone to turn these boring drags into something worth holding onto. A memory lane that goes too long to develop it all on camera.

My friend took a picture of the President. She probably has assassinated the President, if cameras were guns. There are a lot of people taking selfies. There are probably a lot of people who died of suicide, if cameras were guns. There are a lot of people who take pictures at their most joyous moments. There are probably a lot of people who died at their most joyous moments, if cameras were guns. There are a lot of soldiers, innocent people, who died, are dying, and will die, at war. There are probably a lot of soldiers, innocent people, still alive, living, will live, if guns were cameras.

home is where the heart is and my heart lies in the mountains, with nights of hot cocoa and campfires; with the soaring trees, bad cameras. and in the center of it all, laughter and midnight games. the dresses, the stars, the countless walks. . . my heart belongs to those in the beds next to mine, and in the eyes of him. loud songs and braided hair make me smile. and yes, my heart is with you.

if a sound could be grainy like a photo with the ISO too high over-compensating for the light that shone too dim through the patterned curtains in your bedroom in your mother’s old house where the peaches tasted better in water than in sugar and that had never ever happened not since you were three years old when your grandmother who was not yet too old to do much besides eat TV dinners and watch ‘the price is right’ before your grandfather’s funeral where you ruined your velvet dress spilling cheap coffee all over the bodice (if it had been good coffee the situation would be entirely different) the sound of you exhaling like a train rolling right past the house shaking the walls and the floor and the sofa less and less as it gets farther away you sound grainy like a photocopy and i can’t find the original

I. You told me you still had Those roles of film, Undeveloped. The ones that you took of me In the summer. II. I wonder If you will ever see me again As I used to be. III. I wish you had a darkroom For my soul; For all you've ever seen Have been scratched Negatives. IV. I miss looking at your features Through viewfinders. V. You were the whole world Inside a tiny glass frame.
