I Do Haiku You – Toy camera and poetry

I have an ongoing project called I Do Haiku You in which I pair medium format toy camera photography with haiku and senryu poems. Haiku poetry, like photography, has an instant, strong, fairly emotional resonance. I find the haiku and photographs enhance each others power so that, very briefly, a story is told.

My photographs come from India, Egypt, the U.S. and elsewhere, including Kyoto, Japan, where I now live. I am a Los Angeles native.

I’ve enclosed one haiku with image as a sample of my work:

Lost and Found

the meaning of life
you think you got it, then it
slips away again

Chattering Optimism
