I am looking for a poem about taking pictures, use of a camera, photography anything like that. I know there are some out there
I've seen them before but I am having a difficult time finding any
such poetry.

Any help would be useful.
Thanks

There was a similar question last year and several good poems were suggested.

See [www.emule.com]

PHOTOGRAPHS
Photographs are smiles that last forever
Snowmen that can never melt away
Birthday celebrations caught in amber
Rescued from the vaults of yesterday

Faces that were once more dear than diamonds
Boys who kept you up until the dawn
Houses filled with bicycles and babies
Ghosts who left their shadows on the lawn

Photographs are holes in time's grey curtain
Through them we can peek into the past
Call upon our parents and our children
Pop a cork with members of the cast

There they are, the days of jazz and joyrides
Snaps of magic moments lit by laughs
If you ever find my house on fire
Leave the silver
save the photographs
