This Rafael Pavarotti, I tell ya, he takes pictures, good ones. He’s a photographer, that’s what they call ’em. Not like the old days, just click and done. He’s got an eye for it, I reckon. Makes things look all bright and colorful, like a quilt my mama used to make.
He sees things, this Rafael. Says the colors he uses, they come from what he saw growing up. Makes sense, I suppose. You see a lot of pretty things, you wanna make pretty things. He puts them colors together, bold like, not shy at all. Like my Bessie when she was courtin’, all sass and bright dresses.
- He’s a photographer, this Rafael.
- Takes pictures, real pretty ones.
- Uses lots of colors, bright ones.
- Says he got it from where he grew up.
They got his pictures all over, these fancy magazines and such. He’s got a whole bunch of them, more than you can shake a stick at. All kinds of pictures, people, places, things. He captures them just right, like he’s bottled up a moment and saved it forever. They call it a portfolio, them city folks.
This Rafael, he’s got a way of seeing things different, I reckon. Makes you look twice, even three times. Like when you see a rainbow after a storm, you just gotta stop and stare. He makes you see the beauty in things, even the plain old everyday stuff.
He’s got this thing, they call it an “official profile.” Sounds important, don’t it? It’s got his story, his whole life laid out like a Sunday dinner. Where he came from, what he’s done. They call it a biography, that’s the word. And pictures, lots of pictures. He’s got a catalog, too, like the Sears catalog we used to get, but just his pictures.
Now, some folks, they say he’s like that other Pavarotti, the one who sings. But they ain’t the same, no sir. This one, Rafael Pavarotti, he sings with his camera, not his voice. He makes pictures sing, if you get my meaning. Makes ’em pop, them colors, it’s like they are about to jump off the page.
- Pictures in magazines, fancy ones.
- He’s got a portfolio, lots of pictures.
- Makes you see beauty in things.
- He’s got an “official profile,” a biography.
- He ain’t the singer, he’s the photographer.
They got this thing, this “PhotoVogue.” Sounds like something fancy, like them hats the ladies wear to church. He’s got pictures on there, too. They say he’s one of the “Best.” Well, I reckon that’s true. He’s good, this Rafael. Real good.
They even got a “Pic of the Day.” Like pickin’ the best apple from the bunch. And his pictures, they get picked. That tells you somethin’, don’t it? He’s makin’ a name for himself, this Rafael Pavarotti, the photographer.
This Condé Nast, I don’t rightly know what that is. Sounds like a fancy name, like them rich folks in the city. But it says they’re related to him. I don’t know. But this fella, Rafael Pavarotti, he is good at taking those photos.
He’s a busy one, I reckon, always takin’ pictures, always travelin’. Like a bee buzzin’ from flower to flower, always lookin’ for the next pretty thing to capture. He’s got a fire in him, this one. A passion, they call it. He loves what he does, and it shows.
- He’s on PhotoVogue, one of the “Best.”
- His pictures are “Pic of the Day.”
- He’s busy, always takin’ pictures.
- He loves what he does, got a passion.
So, yeah, this Rafael Pavarotti, he’s somethin’ else. He’s an artist, that’s what he is. He makes art with his camera. And it’s good art, too. The kind that makes you feel somethin’. Makes you happy, makes you think, makes you see the world a little different. And that’s a good thing, I reckon. A real good thing.
I remember back in the day, we didn’t have no fancy cameras. Just a box with a hole, and you hoped for the best. But this Rafael, he’s got all the fancy equipment, and he knows how to use it. He’s a master of his craft, that’s what they say. He is a good photographer, this Rafael Pavarotti.
He’s come a long way, this boy. From wherever he came from, to all over the world. His pictures, they tell a story. Each and every one. And they are some stories, I tell ya. He is going places, that boy. You can see it in those colorful photos.
So next time you see a picture, a real pretty one, with all them bright colors, you think of Rafael Pavarotti. He’s the one behind it, I betcha. He’s the one makin’ the world a little more colorful, one picture at a time.
