PERspective


Eye
The definition
of the eye
each of a pair
of globular organs
in the head
through which people
and
vertebrate animals
see
the visible part
typically
appearing almond-shaped
in the animal's eyelids
Thanks google
The eye
a unique device
valued by some
and
unappreciated by others
It shows one’s depth
their point of view
Looking through
someone else’s eyes
allows others
to see their point of view
to perfection
Having the eye
is powerful
You have the power
to manipulate
your environment
and
craft it in a way
that your audience
sees
only
what you allow
With that photo
the outside
of those four borders
remain a mystery
I will manipulate
my environment
and
allow you to experience
MY world
MY point of view
No rules
or
conditions
I expect
my audience
to view my work
with an open mind
No expectations
I tend to capture subjects
most over look
That one
green Jasminum Nudiflorum
in a bed of red Hibiscus
You might overlook that
I
on the other hand
will capture its contrast
Its difference
Its uniqueness
I do not capture
a specific theme
Sexuality
social justice
racism
body image
things that define me
different cultures
and
ethnic backgrounds
No.
I’m free.
I capture
what catches
my eye
Whether
in a sea of people
marching for
their rights
or
a sea of Male Betta fish
finding its way through life
I capture
what catches my eye
The eye is powerful
Now
that you understand
what my work is about
I expect
you to view it
in open mind
Thanks.
