Like many landscape photographers, I spend a lot of time outdoors, surrounded by the beauty of our natural world. These experiences can be deeply moving and intimate, and when the conditions are right, even poetic. We attempt to capture these moments using the camera’s lens but sometimes images alone cannot convey the entirety of what we are seeing and feeling as the shutter is clicked. Recently, I have turned to composing haiku as a way to add depth and meaning to the images I shoot.
