Post reblogged from Jack Barnosky Photographs with 32 notes
I’ve been asked recently, from many sources, do you think photography is easy or is it hard? My answer is that photography is very, very easy. But only after you realize that there are far, far more things in and about your photographs that don’t matter than things that do matter. Navigate this hurdle and your photography will sing the song of the poets.

Seeker …after those left behind Jack Barnosky
When we last spoke
you smiled that golden smile
that made me love you,
you talked of the future
that uncertain void
you were a light in the dark
leading me
to places unknown
when we last spoke
you talked of a world
to be, what you wanted
what you needed
you said your needs were
not complicated, a life
to be lived without any puzzles
when last we spoke
you told me of a world created
by you
a world of love that needed no reason
to be
it just was what was destined to be
for you, not me
when last we spoke
you smiled at me with love
but not the love that would last
that love would be for another
so it was, so it came to be
when last we spoke
you said goodbye
i could not say those words
but you knew, you just knew
it was to be
“damn women”!
they just know what is right
they know what the future will
hold, for them
not for me
i wanted things that
i could not have
when last we spoke
you had the glow of the stars on you
i knew then that i was lost
you did not want me, for a lifetime
now tell me
years later, decades,
of you children
is there one who can laugh
your laugh
that laugh that made me weak
trembling
can she see the future?
as you could
does she have the scent of lavendar
on her?
as you did
from that soap that was in that shower
that we shared
many, many times
so it goes,
when last we spoke
you said a final goodbye
goodbye
it was never to be
so it goes,
goodbye

Christmas Eve 2011 5
“Say your words
she told me
“those words that you
wish to speak”
“the words that tell
tales of fear and longing”
“I am afraid”
afraid of you
and what lies beyond”
she said
“your fears are
those who are
mortal
think beyond thee
limits
think among
the glistening
stars”
“be as they are,
immortal”

unfocused, fuzzy
yet it speaks still, to a time gone,yet remembered
a time that was frivolous, undemanding, no cares, no duties
nothing to do
when guys wit greasy hair would simonize their cars under the bridges of South Philly
couldn’t do it in the sun, just couldn’t do it
the wax would…

Maria in the Field , ” sweet gypsy lady ” Jack Barnosky
in the light of day, golden , frozen in memory
i can see your face, shining as the stars
that glow on the crosses
in the lonely corners of forever
my mind wanders to another place
and time, i can feel the heat of the
songs, sung by the minstrels telling me
“go, be what you were meant to be”
but i cannot, i cannot sing that song
i cannot hear the rythymn of the snow
that falls quietly, without passion
i cannot be as was meant to be
i fear
i fear
the questions that will be asked of me
the answers i cannot give
forgive me
but i am only one among many
in the light of day I still feel darkness
when you are with me
that darkness is black and full of clouds
clouds that would lead us, me, to pain
i’m not one to wonder,
only to be
there is no other choice
in the light of day, the moonlight speaks
you name
now lost
forever
to me

i have worn many faces,
sung songs along the roadways
seen the stars at noon
but never have
i stopped to see the
tide, green in the moonlight
i know
the poems i write are
for you
alone
i know i dance
with many clowns
who poke and prod me
to give to you
that song i sing
but that song is sometimes
lost in the chaos
of the day
i know, i know
that song is the voice
of the stars
planets,
moons
and it is
for you
the moon is for you
the stars i give
freely
to you
alone

will they be tales of the heroic or the doomed?
escaping from the clutches of the moon lit banshee
just before the midnight tolls
what tales will the dawn tell?
will they be tales told by old men
grey and bent
yet alive with the arrogance of their birth?
old tales,moldering away
ancient
