Ah, that granddaughter
of mine
is a PRO
at at least two things
Once a Famous-Coffee-
Company manager
now she knows
all flavors of all coffees
ever conceived in
this world
even the seven dollar ones
Seems like nearly every
photo I have
of her
she is sipping something
and looking very
contented
I hope some of it
is DECAF.
Th' other pro thing
is a biggie, for she has
the eye, and the skills
to become a world-class
sports photographer
If not sampling coffee, she's
carrying around that big
telephoto lens
hooked to that little-bitty camera
And you should see her photos!
Baseball bats a' swinging, football
QB's passing, receivers leaping,
basketball guys dunking,
track hurdlers hurdling, lady swimmers
a' diving.... you know the shots!
Close play at home, man a'sliding...
Out at first? check the photo...
Jumping catch in
center field...against the fence...
And she works like a phantom
You don't even see her
She knows how to move
And capture the peak moment of
the action, in a gifted way
like the great
Cartier-Bresson of France
in the thirties.
(Granddad loves.)
