A must read - For All Photographers - A poem from D W Cavanaugh copyright...

THE JOY OF LIGHT

The photographer, that “has learned how to see”,
approaches each new day, with what, “could be”.

With camera in hand, a new quest begins,
to capture a moment, before it can end.

The journey starts, the whole world to explore,
seeking that “one” image, like no other before.

The truth that is known and actually quite clear,
you need not go far, it can be very near.

For beauty surrounds us, you can feel it’s vibe,
seized by its power, it lets you know you are alive.

Releasing the shutter, we remember the sight,
and “feel the energy” and “know the joy of light”.

It’s the one thing that keeps us going, on which we all depend,
it’s the knowledge, that the most beautiful place on earth, is just around the bend.
