Camera
By Benice, Year 10
So much depends
upon a camera
broken even, it may still work
though the image includes a static
and an effect happens.
If newly bought
you’re able to see the
reflections of
your nostalgic memories.
Memories where it
is captured through
celebrations, worthwhile,
emitting, through
the crack of the lens
This poem, Camera, by Benice was written as a part of Snapshots. Think of the small moments in time that are significant in our lives, or that contribute to the story of who we are. How do you capture that moment on camera? In words? Who takes the picture? What happens outside the frame? What stories do they tell? In this workshop series, students will consider the relationship between photography and poetry and create short poems, vignettes and flash fiction pieces inspired by the work of a range of local and international writers, and visual and photographic artists, as well their own photographs.
