like a faithful
dog on a leash

like a pro..we shoot
everything excepting
snow .. we shoot
humanity ..although
fast of reflex we
are slow .. decisive
moments we let
them go,,,being
human is our
motto.. live
let others
live a thought
we follow

poem dedicated to a friend in new mexico
who faves our pictures sukhi hontu
