"... I capture moments, sometimes with the camera on my phone, sometimes with a few words, and sometimes with both... And, yes, it’s often awfully familiar, but there is always something new to see... Poems, too, can capture and present these moments— especially short poems such as haiku and haiku-like poems. I capture and presents such moments in both my photographs and my poems, and sometimes I combine the two in what are called photo-haiga."
