By now you all know that I am dragonfly crazy, don’t know why but since I was a child I was nuts about them. On the 11th march 2008 @ about 7.37pm Milli came and told me that a dragonfly was sitting next to our bedroom. I don’t know why but my first thought was to run for my camera. Got some (ok) pix and then I got even braver and set up my lights and guided her gently to my hand and the crazy thing was she stayed there as if that was her purpose that night. Then my thought shifted towards what I was going to use as a background. What better than me, the dragonfly crazy man? (even though i did try some others) So here are some pix I took and like, will upload more as I get more time. Hope you all like the pix and they make you smile! Also found on the net this poem that I thought went with the moment.
For all of you who are wondering what happened to the dragonfly after the shoot: I gave her some water and thought I let her spend the night on the front porch, but she had other thoughts or more places to be, as she spread her wings and flew into thick dark night.
After all a dragonfly has a lifespan of only 24 hours. - tim
A Dragonfly
Your delicate wings rapidly beat the air
The sleekness of your weightless body hovers
Curiously observing as though you care
Steadily searching for lifelong endeavors
Do you bring a message of a tranquil destiny?
Does your evolving maturity convey wisdom?
If I follow, will I find harmony or perplexity?
As you disappear… I am serenely lonesome
