I take the picture
I point the camera
that’s it
the subject is usually in focus
it remains as I found it
I resist the temptation
to get it into better light
resist the temptation
to add to the scene
or take away from it
I don’t seek perfection
but let things

that I didn’t create
the broken chair
the mattress still wrapped in plastic
never used
cast aside
I take the picture
the subject tells the story
the picture tells you
nothing about me
