So I met this guy in town who was a busker poet.......

Put some money in his box and asked for a poem about photography and here it is. Have a great Sunday Blippers...

it was almost witchcraft
back in the day, and for a long
time, we thought we could cheat
death and contain it in a freeze
but there's not enough film
in the world

I'm here because I could never do
what everybody did around me
a Canon AE 1 sits on my desk
back at home

now it's something of a novelty
to wait for the photos to develop
but smartphone are too boring
and this way, I'll come closer
to a perfect memory

Thanks Stefan
