No one photographs him
more than once
once they realize
that the only pictures
that show him as himself
show him
onstage.
What’s his motivation?
He gave up everything to gain a spotlight.
That smile you see up there is genuine,
so if you want to try,
use no flash. Catch him standing there
in his natural setting:
darkness all around him
as he pretends like mad
that light is the Sun.
Shoot him anywhere else,
all you’ll capture
is a pillar of salt.
