I carry a notebook. And a camera.
Photography and poetry are different ways of exploring the same question: What happens when we really pay attention?
My work is an attempt to make a private act of perception available to another mind.
I’m drawn to ordinary moments that quietly reveal something more—a glance, a gesture, a shaft of light, an unexpected tension, a fleeting sense of humour or longing.
Some experiences become photographs.
Some become haiku, senryu, or haibun.
Some remain in a notebook.
All begin with attention.
Below are a few glimpses.
