Inspired by Nels "Stepping Off the Cliffs Again"
I haven’t been at this very long
I find myself floating hither and yon
I shoot for profit
I shoot for fun
I’m glad for the prizes I’ve already won
I haven’t been at this very long
I study the masters they won’t be wrong
I like Nels
And Larry and Jim
Where would we be were it not for them
I haven’t been at this very long
Some day I’ll sing a different song
I’ll shoot for fun
I’ll make big money
I’ll sit on my porch raking in the honey

Thank you Nels and Connie. My first "published" poem. I don't know where it came from but it landed on AFI. I SO appreciate ALL the photographers and other artists and their contributions to AFI. What a great neighborhood.
You betcha, baby.
Hey Nels, aren't your pretty tickled that someone is remembering you in poetry? A first?
Nice poetry,Maryllis.
Many thanks for this ode, Maryllis. We've all gotten a lot of help and inspiration from Nels (Johnson), Larry (Berman) and Jim (Parker) here. Let's not forget the other photographers who push this site along with their great advice, Geoff Coe and Alison Thomas.
I'm seeing you on the porch now... happy new year.
