It would probably look

Ah, but we are thieves.
Give me your moments.

We recently visited a cousin of mine. His name is Mel DiGiacomo and he is a well known photographer.

Some of you may know that Sapphire, my sister, is also an aspiring photographer. Needless to say he and she had an endless conversation about the art.
At one point my sister said that her photography teacher had told her to get permission before shooting other people (which he scoffed at) so he told her a story about how a man had yelled at him for taking a picture of his house and called the cops, claiming it was illegal. The cops had to explain to the man that because Mel was standing on the sidewalk when he shot the picture, it was not.
He looked at my sister and said:
"We are thieves. We steal moments. That is our art"

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactYay, more word pictures, I love these. Ok, ahem, now I'll try to be serious.
Obviously I love the way you created imagery with the words again, especially the broken frame, and the literal tear farther down. The variations in font size also work well to give the writing character, you can almost hear in your head where the strength of the speaker starts to fade at times.
The line 'exposure on the right and the dark-lights on the left' is a bit confusing for a couple reasons...I suppose it could be reversed if you were trying to create the impression of words on a wall, if you know what I mean, I am curious what the dark-lights are though...being a literal person, I would think UV blacklights...but I'm guessing you meant darklight more as in a lack of light, a darkness in the image.
The part about first love, lost forever, and that one, irretrievable moment of innocent beauty, are particularly poignant, and in my opinion, the strongest elements of an already excellent poem...I am a visual person, I may have mentioned already how much I like the word pictures.
Vision...arrogant youth, lost love, and stolen moments framed forever all combine to create evocative mental imagery, it is very impressive.
It is also a very original concept, or at least, certainly an uncommon one.
Both the actual writing technique and the literal imagery you create work together very well.
It is one of the strongest pieces you have written recently...you manage to convey a wide amount and variety of emotion in a relatively small amount of words.
There is beauty in simplicity as well.
