Taking Pictures Without a Camera

Persons A and B discuss the possibilities

PERSON A: I used to want to be a photographer. I’ve got a great camera. It’s shoved to the back of some drawer. Now I take all my pictures without a camera.

PERSON B: Say what?

PERSON A: Yup, I can take a picture anytime and anywhere I want. I don’t need a camera or smartphone or batteries or storage disks or anything at all. It is so liberating and so powerful.

PERSON B: Oh geez. Are you gonna get all woo-woo on me?

PERSON A: No. No. This has nothing to do with woo-woo. Anyone can do it.

PERSON B: (exhales deeply) Okay, I’ll bite. How do you take a picture without a camera?

PERSON A: With your mind.

PERSON B: (rolls eyes)

PERSON A: Of course you use your eyeballs, too. But really, the eyeballs are just the lenses. (taps finger on forehead) The actually camera is in the noggin.

PERSON B: Of course.

PERSON A: What you do is stand tall and firm and empty your noggin of all thoughts.Then stare intently at what it is you want to take a picture of. Examine all the details. Then zoom back and see the totality of the picture. From this viewpoint stare at the picture for five seconds. Keep your noggin completely free of any thought. Feel the picture burning into you noggin. Then click!

PERSON B: Click? What the heck do you click?

PERSON A: Well, since you don’t have a real camera you’ve got to come up with your own click. Some people imagine a click button in their noggin and mentally click it, hearing some click sound in their imagination. You know what I do? I touch my thumb to my forefinger on both hands simultaneously — and I mentally say, ‘Click!” That stops the process and burns the picture into your noggin. Our noggins have incredible storage capacity. All I gotta do is feel the feeling I had first staring at the picture and the picture immediately pops up. That’s why you don’t wanna have any thoughts in your noggin as you take the picture. You only wanna feel. Thoughts cause all sorts of distractions and distortions. Stop the feeling and the visuals with the clicking. Look away. The picture is taken and is in the noggin for good. You bring the picture back up whenever you match the feeling-tone vibrations associated with that picture. Anyone can do it.

PERSON B: (scratches chin) Okay, I see a problem with your little noggin camera. If what you say is true that we can take pictures and store them in our head then there’s one thing you can’t do that you can do with an actual camera.

PERSON A: (smiling) Oh?

PERSON B: Yeah. I can pull my smartphone out and take a picture of you right now and I can share that picture with a million people. I can have the picture printed out and send a copy to my grandma. But you can’t share your noggin pictures because they are hidden in your noggin.

PERSON A: Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong, Person B. I can send my pictures to anyone I want. (snaps fingers) I’ve got an idea. (writes something on a piece of paper, folds it, puts in pocket) Okay, I’m gonna send you a picture that I took last week. (puts forefingers to temples) I’m seeing the picture in my noggin and I’m feeling the vibes as I send it to your noggin. Clear your noggin of all thoughts and get into a state of receivership. What’s the first image that pops up in your noggin?

PERSON B: Uh… A rowboat?

PERSON A: Wow! That’s really good. It was a canoe actually but that is close enough. See, we all have the ability to take pictures with our mind and then send them to anyone. It’s a natural ability. (takes out piece of paper from pocket and unfolds it to reveal the word, canoe) That natural ability atrophies when it is not used. We rely on our tech gadgets, our phones and cameras, so therefore we never use our natural abilities anymore and don’t even realize they are there but once we acknowledge them they can be built back up through practice. Daily practice can provide astonishing results. I take pictures all day long.

PERSON B: Okay, now you’re starting to freak me out a little. Uh… actually I’ve gotta run. I’ve got this… uh… uh… this thing I’ve got to go to. (heads for the door)

PERSON A: Okay. Bye. Take lots of pictures.

Speaking of photography…
