Photogram Poetry


There was a room a darkroom
In that darkroom, we made dada art
We used emulsion to make our photo
Silver nitrate made it possible

  1. A soldier with greed
    A captain of the DADA stampede
    Emulsion occurs
    After camera obscura
    No negatives in stock
    When art comes and knocks

  2. World of an Empty Paper

    Outside the Kodak box
    A blank sheet of paper
    No contrast resides on it
    Empty with no sympathy
    Like the Dada
    Sitting there unaccepted
    For a while
    No exposure to the sun
    Like a little light in a darkroom
    May the silver nitrate burn
    An image of light or dark
    If not careful
    Even light writing will ruin
    With a tear and no light
    Outside the Kodak box

  3. I used a Kodak Camera Lens. To make my dream come true. I video taped it and yes there was no negative exposure. Music, Music, is my life. Music is my passion. Music is my 1 and only Fashion. Music makes time worthwhile. Music makes me smile.

  4. My photogram
    made in the darkroom
    Man Ray
    made it with me
    and made with
    lens too
    But it is not
    a DADA
    it is better
    than that.

  5. With a darkroom, some toys,
    A scanner, and a girl or boys,
    And exposure to stop and developer,
    And a negative picture,
    The creation of a dada is made,
    Made possible by Man Ray.

  6. Jose Zazueta,

    Light wrighting in the dark room
    is like a night mare. When i do
    emulsion i always mess up so
    Man Ray taught me how to do a photogram
    a lot better. But when i tried to do a photogram
    something happened

  7. I worked hard in the Dark Room,
    So glad I didn't go "BOOM!"
    I made Scanography & Photograms like DaDa,
    But your lucky i didn't sing "RaRa"!
    Who's this, ohhhh, Man Ray!
    Trust me, he didnt fly away!

  8. The photogram that is contrast,
    Made from the daarkroom,
    It developed from sun drawing,
    Comes from emulsion and can be DaDa,
    And all have exposure the light,
    And the chemicals are all Kodak

    In the photo gram what I see
    Clouds on a dark dada night
    A bird or a plane is what I see
    A full moon as bright as it could be
    So thats my story
    What do you see

    In this DADA photogram
    I see a few leaves
    that looks like a exposure of trees
    In a darkroom so you cant see
    theres a finger and a medal
    but dosent look like it to me

    I was in the world of LA-LA
    While I was supposed to make a DA-DA
    Photogram in the dark room
    which uses silver nitrate
    If it is exposed to light negative
    impact there will be

    In the darkroom making a photogram
    with the In Use light lit up.
    With the red lights on then exposing
    the paper to the one white light.
    Then dip it in the first chemical
    and let emulsion take place
    then you have a photogram!

  14. In my Dada dreams
    I am Man Ray
    No lens, no negative
    Alas, my photogram does say
    Emulsion, you fail me!

  15. Haters gonna hate

  17. In my negative dreams me and sponge bob killed Man Ray.
    And then we went to the darkroom ice cream stand.
    Then Patrick came with his camera obscure and we had a blast.

  18. My negative nightmare.

  19. My photogram poem (Brandon Rivard)

    It is a mark
    A mark like Lewis and Clark
    This symbol has been on earth
    ever since its birth
    It is the mark of the cats
    and it has a simple format
    they are always on the prowl
    but almost never do they cowl
    It is like the mark of the wild
    for those who have defiled
    you can tame the mark and the cat
    then they might become fat
    the wild
    would become mild
    there is no need to be upset
    so don't fret
    now you can take one as your own
    because they have become known
    in this world some are gone
    so they would never re spawn
    all now know peace
    so it all ends when they release
    the mark stands for cats so treat them so they aren't flat
    we are done
    so go on and have fun

  20. Photogram Poem

    I made a NEGATIVE,
    I used EMULSION.
    I stuck it in my book,
    and it ripped it.
    Some people call it LIGHT WRITING,
    I call it a PHOTOGRAM.

    Poem
    A photo-gram is made by
    Camera Obscura
    Which means darkroom in Latin
    It comes out as a negative
    Man Ray invented these photos using Silver Nitrate, Developer, and Emulsion
    To capture the images of life

  23. Gareth's poem

    Walk in the darkroom blind,
    Holding the old lens of my eyes
    The photogram also shows my old hobby
    the foam we used to shoot at each other
    as exposure changed the paper
    I remembered being exposed to the new
    From gasses to contacts,
    from Nerf to airsoft
    like how light affected the silver nitrate
    life affected me

    Photo grams spark your day with grams and photos
    within the darkroom A dog and his friend
    not negative but positive in many ways with exposure
    like the man of Ray

    Using developer
    In a darkroom
    To create light writing
    Exposure to light would damage them

  30. My trophies, my dinos they all stare at me
    My childhood memories I remember and start to see
    Remembering this moment, I create my photogram
    I enter the darkroom that must have no light cam
    I use emulsion to start my photo and see
    Thank you Man Ray for making dada so I can remember my childhood memories

  31. The photogram I choose has......
    Great work done with emulison
    Is a kodak moment,yes indeed
    With perfect light exposure
    It's a light writing photo
    Scanography does not compare
    With DADA it's almost there

  32. Photogram
    I couldn't develop without the dark room
    Emulsion can not be exposed
    Alas I am but not broken am I
    The dark room helped me it did
    The mystery room has another name
    The camera obscure has hidden its ways
    Man Ray can not compare when emulsion will not appear

  33. DADA means nothing
    The dark room I go
    Emulsion, emulsion creates it
    It is a PHOTOGRAM

    Cherries, a flower, and glass
    Home to nature
    It explains me
    For I am alone

    Silver nitrate
    And exposure
    To light

    DADA means nothing
    So DADA means me

  34. my photogram
    i think it's DADA
    if it's exposed to light
    it's ruined,i made it in my darkroom
    i made it with my kodak brownie
    one of my ingredients was silver nitrate
