Beach Haiku

These photographs strive to represent that epiphanic moment that is realized in the traditional poetic form of the haiku; that same realization that prompts either their creation or the selfsame realization in their reading. Or viewing.

The pictures are heavily dependent upon form (as is the written haiku) and, in general, defy traditional notions of composition. They are made with a panoramic camera using the historic medium of black and white film; both for their adherence to, and predisposition toward, form.
