In the past few weeks, encouraged by collaborations with Pris Campbell and Jerry Dreesen, I've been producing my own photo-haiga (haiku and senryu forms combined with photographs). I think I'll post some of my recent efforts here, then post latest ones as they occur.

The image for 'Lone Gull' was photographed on the River Wharfe, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. I sat by the river for three hours trying to capture a shot of a lone gull flying low over the river; frustrating - they either flew by in droves, or did aerobatics. I got this one suitable shot out of 40 I took (thanks heavens for digital photography!). No post-processing here - the river was very dark and glossy under the trees.
