Picture-Taking

On a summer break from college,

When I traveled ‘cross the sea,

My new Instamatic camera

Made the trip (plus film) with me.

 

Later on, I graduated

To a camera with a case

And the kind of film you had to wind,

Much harder to replace.

 

Thus, for parties or vacations,

I would always be prepared

To snap pictures then make copies

So the images were shared.

 

That was all before our cell phones

Came with cameras installed.

Now I’m always at the ready

If a photo moment’s called.

 

When technology’s updated,

I am mostly quite inept,

But I so prefer my iPhone

To the cameras I once schlepped.
