Annie Leibovitz

Erren Kelly

The camera is your Bible
Your savior
A bicycle lies
Abandoned, with a
Bloodstain nearby
On the pavement
The scene of a crime
Maybe a moment
Best forgotten?
The camera is your security
Blanket
Your opium
You capture shots of celebrities
And the masses
John Lennon holding Yoko
Ono, just hours
Before the sky fell again
Your picture don’t just tell
Stories
They illuminate moments
You take pictures of your partner
Susan Sontag, dead, with an
iPhone
The camera is the truth
Detector for humanity.
It never lies
You take a picture of Demi Moore
Cradling her pregnant belly
Like a picture
You are a story
