CAMERA FRIEND
CAMERA FRIEND
(dedicated to my PHOTOGRAPHER friends)
Oh just what can you see in the skies so blue
How do you feel when I think about you
The visions, the dreams, the fond memories
The stars, the moon, the wind in the trees
With the blink of the flash and the wink of an eye
The camera is the friend you just can’t deny
Pointing, clicking, enhancing, cropping and then
If you don’t like what you see, you just try it again
What do we see through the eyes of the lens
An artist’s delight in the camera, my friend
Portraits from heaven, models galore
Bands, entertainment, and those we adore
Landscapes and mountains, statues and style
Those special moments that just make you smile
Classy, creative, alluring, seductive, romance
To get that picture perfect you risk taking the chance
Walking miles, standing on hilltops, climbing the trees,
Driving at sunset, to capture moments like these
With digital age, just download, print and you’re done
With camera in hand, the photographer has only just begun
True miraculous moments, the wonderful birth of a child
The dreaded crime scene, and those who’ve gone wild
Like the writer who’s pen just goes hand in hand
The photographer leans on the CAMERA FRIEND
Sharing tips and tricks with many others like you
The photographer artist loves that camera so true
Sweet self portraits on the timer we set
Clowning around, days we would like to forget
Life holds a treasure through the pictures we see
But there’s no better friend, then my camera and me
