Questions for Margot’s Photographer
perhaps her eyes were blue
they will never be less profound
when your eyes find these moments
do you touch them
do you have soft hands
do you hear them
is your voice quiet
do you have an instant fondness
for who she is or only
for what your camera finds
images that never fade
never drift into a different expression
was it despair that held her still
was it a long quiet moment
how many moments did you capture
before she became annoyed
before she drifted away
do any of these picture points in time
leave you sorry
Oh I can see they do not
you let them be
their own kind of strong.

I have a great appreciation for portrait artists especially photographers. They capture a soul in a caught-breath moment and seal it on to paper. I discovered a photograph of a child by Lee Jeffries, I believe he called it Margot, I wrote what was on my mind not just about that photograph but about most of the incredible work I have seen on his website. It is about the kind of questions a word writer like myself has for an image creator.
If it were possible, I would use one of his photographs to illustrate what I wrote, but I respect that Mr. Jeffries might feel that he can not allow this without compensation. He should be paid well for his work. Unfortunately, though I wish I could, I can not pay. So, I will do the next best thing by providing a link to his website in an effort to be helpful and show my appreciation for what he does. I urge you reader to visit his website to see what I saw there. Watch his films, they answer many more questions than I thought to ask.
