In the continuing series on seeing the world through a photographer’s eyes, we look at the question as to what is to be done about the mundane…
A Twinge of the Mundane by Michael Doyle Seeing the mundane into extraordinary Is to find the connections within the ordinary Making the nuances of these connections Stand out in their infinite directions Making excellence out of quietude Requires just a little creative latitude Soft light makes the subject pop from the background No matter where you are, there's a stage to be found There's really no such thing to be known There there is something that cannot be shown No part of the world that's truly the middle of nowhere Because to someone's heart, all places are somewhere The attention is found in the details That bring the clarity and pop to the tales As we remove the clutter from our life's page And are provided the grab shots of our stage It's that something in the something that has meaning Touching to the heart of us as humans simply being Living life as it flows and isn't really sought And yet these moments are not very easily forgot All that surrounds use gives us our opportunity When looked at in our artistic heart's ability It's all up to the focal of the camera's eye And the quality of light played from the sky In these wide open places and infinite spaces We find the life lived as it lovingly embraces All of the zest of life that is to be found In the many unexpected moments that often abound In this ever present truth, we find the inane That perhaps after all, there is no such thing as mundane The entire world is an oyster split open to be had All circumstances bring something for which to be glad (c) July 7, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
