What do you truly see beyond the images in your camera?

It is thus awe-inspiring to "read" beautifully crafted photographs from the sublime to the more perceptible. Read because, each frame has a story of its own so distinctly etched, nay written among the images captured momentarily by the senses and forever etched in the memory of mankind...A parable in the bible reads so aptly: "In the presence of the beautiful the whole self quivers..." It is with this thought that I presume the quintessential purpose of art is to bring one to the source of all life...There is indeed a perfect order and magnificent beauty in the universe and too in the science of our bodies, the kind that has the artist in you expressing thus in your own perspective. . .These images you creatively and for a moment hold captive in the eye of the camera albeit, in an instant are released with the liberation of the senses that make poetry of your tapestries come alive so distinctly with the touch, smell, feel, taste, vision of the photographed "you" juxtaposed splendidly with all creations best understood in the context of the light you can only begin to hold. Art photography then as with all else for me is one that brings the true self to a better understanding of his purpose in life...
God Is A Great Poet
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche once said:
"Only the most acute and active animals
are capable of boredom
theme for a great poet
would be God's boredom
on the seventh day of creation."
So I ask if I did write on the theme,
would that make me great because I am a poet or
would that make me a poet because I am great?
All poets make great poems.
All poems make great thinkers of poets.
All poets are great.
He might be relieved to know
that indeed, God got bored on the seventh day
but that's only because, The Poet feels for His poems.
So on the eight day,
He made a poem of Alice
God is great.
