After working with medium format in Kenya in the 60's for a book project on Makonde carvings - "Modern Makonde Sculpture" J Anthony Stout. I switched back to 35mm in 1970, then to DSLR digital in 2002. This last switch coincided with an introduction to haiku and it was a natural fit to combine haiku/tanka poetry with digital images in a form known as photo-haiga.
Nikon D700, D200, 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.8, Sigma 150mm Macro f/2.8

Galleries of my photography and photographic haiga, an evolving art form, with roots in the traditional Japanese haiga which combine art with poetry.
Photo-haiga uses digital photography to set haiku or tanka word images against the photographic image, producing an interplay designed to enrich each image, the artist and the viewer.
