not on camera

sister's wedding two weeks ago, no photographer was hired for the scenic occasion
sentimental too, by temperament - however documentation was not lacking:
about five cameras ready for every one picture waiting to be taken
i am learning to see photogenic moments

other things, other occasions:

while not camera ready i saw:
my mother and father dancing to you look wonderful tonight
on the edge of the empty floor, surrounded by mirrors
mother bent her head to my father's shoulder shyly
after 35 years
solace, comfort, awareness?
for a brief moment, and then stepped back
into my father's eyes - no need for mirrors to see

you look wonderful tonight
