“The entre-point” [Reflections on: Berger, John and Mohr, Jean, with help from Nicholas Philbert, Another Way of Telling, NY: Pantheon Books, 1982, 308p. – sec 5, subsection 3]
An entry-point to larger set
Is childhood pix, a start, and yet
Chronology soon shift into
The myriad – like me and you.A two-page spread is “Sub-set’s scope.”
Now that’s a thought! A way to know
Enough to step up to the rest,
As each sub-theme is sub-addressed.From left to right is fine to start,
But to movements of the eye in art
Are often guided by the range,
And aspects with each sub-set’s change.There’s “Story” ’neath apparent flux
In mind of viewer – “Three” – enough
To coax one on through larger set,
To weave sub-series – gist to get.So all this raises “Q and A”
For author here, what can we say
In light of all this book so far?
What Narratives through Photos are?The form, to author here, at least,
He now attempts to thought release;
Three segments left of section 5,
In which he now attempts his dive.Thanks Lord for this.
