PHOTOGRAPHY MERAKI
Sporting a colourful chemise
A camera and a valise
Temptations so easily tease
Roaming as free as honey bees
Tourists hear beckonings as pleas
And capture beauty with much ease
Tiny things no bigger than peas
Or vast expanse of deep blue seas
Weeping willows sway in the breeze
Nice houses of bourgeoisies
Candles lit to divinities
Friendly playful bitty chickadees
Lovable girl about to sneeze
Soldiers return from overseas
Referees calling penalities
Lovers creating memories
Strange amazing intricacies
Silly whimsical fantasies
Many types of absurdities
Two elephants on a trapeze
Seven vine swinging chimpanzees
Bears savouring delicacies
Oddities among novelties
Unavoidable catastrophes
Moments of awe you want to freeze
As many of these as you please
Photos are lovely memories
Many worthy of galleries
Artist’s a fan of what he sees

Meraki, a Greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself
in your work.
Meraki is used by Greeks to describe scenarios when a
person has really put a part of themselves into something. It could be cooking that
comes from the heart, composing a piece of music that comes straight from the
soul, or writing an article that expresses thoughts openly, honestly, and
vulnerably.
Beautiful photography has the right timing, the perfect color and many
are bursting with creativity.
Photographs play an important role in everyone's
life – they connect us to our
past, they remind us of people, places, feelings, and stories. They can help us
to know who we are. Photography has the power to inspire many people and could
lead to a change for the better.
Your memories don't just stay in your head — you'll forget most of them
without a photo to serve as a reminder. Photos also serve as a visual journal
for life's events, not just memories — we take
photos of ourselves when we're feeling good or bad so we can look back and see
how far we've come.
Yes. When we see an old photo, it often brings back a flood of memories. This is because our brains
are hardwired to encode and store memories visually. For example, if you see a
photo of yourself as a kid, you may remember the time when the photograph was
taken.
