PHOTOGRAPHY MERAKI

  


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.
