privacy

He knows
the camera
watches him;
he is awkward
and uncomfortable.
His movements become
rigid
doing a
monotonous task.
The camera
clicks.
The picture is taken,
and he relaxes
once again.

Interesting poem. I have often noticed that if the camera is there for a long period of time, the subject forgets it is there and carries on normally. That is when you get the best shots.

those photographers who can relax their subjects, end up taking wonderful pictures.

Good eye for detail. (Excuse the pun).
