True Love
First think. Then walk, and look so you can find. Then crouch or stand or balance or lie or twist. Then stare and think. Then try auto. Then use manual. Changing aperture for depth of field. Changing shutter speed for light. Do I need tripod? Hate tripod. Look more. Think more. See. Stop thinking. See more. Raise finger. Push button half down. Does it work? Yes. Push button all the way down. Click! Push button more. And again. And switch. And again. And stop thinking and press button and change dials and move joystick and flip numbers and adjust balance and compose and feel and see. But thinking time is over. No more thinking now, just clicking and doing. Keep clicking. Just right. Stand up. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Plug in. Turn on. Open. Revise, look, choose, delete. Open. Zoom in, zoom out. What does auto curves think? I disagree. Adjust colours. Crop. Un-do. Crop again. Zoom in, zoom out. Artsy? Meaningful? Creative? Different? Not today. Save as. Open window. Click bookmark. Upload. Wait. Still waiting. Done! Name. Re-name. Tag. Add to groups. Re-name. Wait. Watch. Read, listen. Laugh, frown, get upset, feel talented, feel like a pro, feel like an idiot. Wait more. Decide. Decision made. Love. Remember and forget. Start again.
