Our scholarly gal Patricia
While traipsing through Galicia
Paused in a nook
To sit with a book
I'm sure your friends all missed ya.
As her partner snapped a picture. <-- that rhymes in Chicaco

(Don't tell me "Galicia" is pronounced GAL-uh-SEE-ah. And if it is, then your name must be PAT-ruh-SEE-ah.)

Oh that was lame... but I couldn't work in "militia".

I know from bitter experience that as soon as my partner sees an archway or a reflection in water that he will spend at least 15 minutes photographing it -- often longer.
So now I just find a corner and read, sometimes finding myself inadvertently forming part of a landscape or a domestic interior.

If ever we meet, you and my Loved One can go eat some pie while your partner and I spent two hours getting every single angle and composition recorded of a puddle of water. It sounds right up my alley.

Cheers,
Marc

There are clearly some things I will never understand about men.

Taylor514ce · 05-18-2008, 07:46 PM

That's a scathing generalization
for I, without hesitation
would rather girl watch
or drink a fine Scotch
than discuss angles of polarization

How about if I (or you) jump 2-footedly into their puddle? Make a lovely kid-like SPLASH!!! And probably a mess of our nice outfits.

Love the poetry occurring here!!!

Oh, just perfect! Just think of all of the different photo opportunities. Do it again! Now do it from this angle. Now, jump higher...no higher. Can you take your shoes off? Okay, no just stand in the puddle for a few minutes while I get all those other angles and compositions...

There is poetry here?
Where, I see no verse,
Just ditties from him,
And dotties from her,
Oh dear, what a to-do...

You forgot: "Now, this time, just stay suspended over the water for about three seconds while I bracket the exposure!"

Not quite, you really meant to say :

"Now, this time, just stay suspended over the water for about three seconds while I set up the tripod, connect the camera up, remove the lens cap, fix the shutter release cord, switch the camera on - then bracket the exposure!"

Taylor514ce · 05-19-2008, 04:28 PM

J, don’t ask me how, stapled his finger. No one was paying any attention, and he ain't sayin'. Our first clue was things went quiet. Nature hates a vacuum, right, and the silence made us all look at once. The look on his face, man, like he couldn't believe it, a how the hell expression, plain as day. Then the pain must've set in, 'cause he started this low moan. It built up slowly to a full-on freak-out, with him yelling god jesus god jesus and flopping the hand around with the whole damn stapler still attached like a fish on a hook.

So we couldn't help it, we were rolling. I’ve never heard R laugh like that. Like it hurt, with tears streaming down his face, a full five breathless seconds between spasms of oooh-oooh-oooh real high-pitched. K was trying to help but couldn't and just kept yelling hold still hold still with his hands spaced out around J's like a levitating trick, J's hands gyrating in-between. He got the staple out eventually.

Now and again one of us would start a stifled little laugh, within five seconds we're all wiping tears with J trying hard to be pissed in between laughing himself. Rest of the day we find excuses to ask for the stapler.

in the middle
of anything, anywhere
helpless grin

I take a photo
to capture and suspend you
over a puddle

Paradox Snob

a box
when opened up
releases evil, hope,
a storage jar, and possibly
a cat
