Aspiration

                                       Press Photograph

WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE

ASPIRATION

Mankind, heading for the stars.
Detained  by its own birth sphere.
Maybe for ever.

WHAT A BORE!

'Come on darlings! Smile or laugh!
Mummy wants a photograph!
Do as you're told kids! Mummy's boss!
We given you ice-cream, candy-floss;
We've given into your every whim!
Now you're looking absolutely grim!
We've just come out of Disneyland!
Enjoy yourselves, the way I planned!
Daddy, come on, you have a try.
I'll jump about and play 'I spy'.
They're fed and cosseted, cuddled, hugged!
Now they look like they've been mugged!
Enjoy yourselves! Do as you're told!
How can you stand there being bold!
All three of you are so adored!
How can a small child say it's bored?

Not everybody wants to pose for a shot. Candid shots are the best! Especially for the kids and animals ;-)

I love your BW!

ASPIRATION: Sounds so mystic

WHAT A BORE: Probably one should take a photo, before meeting all their demands... the expectations can then be caught shining in their face..!!!

That's a fine sculpture in the first photo.
