DPIs

DPI’s  (Dots Per Inch)

Captivating photographs

Captives sealed within them 

Do you see them

Caught in black and white 

their still life plastered on pulverized trees 

Glossy

Look into the eyes

while the mouth says 

hello

welcome 

I am beautiful - or handsome -

happy, seductive, sultry, sullen

pondering, stern, strong

The emotions of a 

people 

being human

Parade

an image 

displayed 

on the world canvas 

to masses

But the eyes 

brown, hazel, black

blue, green

Of what do they speak

Through the lens of a camera 

they tell you what you want to hear

Nothing makes this clearer 

than money spent

the check you write, they write, is written 

for a photograph to make the world go round

Commerce  

Photographers and Models

One lives behind the lens seeing more than they can show

The other lives in front of the camera always seen 

yet seeing more than we can ever know

Eyes in DPIs 

Truths and lies

Can we believe the glossy

What will we say to the lens of the world
