Hello my dear followers,

thank you `DpressedSoul for the DD suggestion of my photograph "autumn solitude"
and thank you ^Kaz-D for the DD feature!
It's much appreciated on a foggy November day like today.
For a long time I've kept myself from posting photographs because I've wanted to foreground my illustrations.
Finally I couldn't resist and wanted to share the two black and white autumn photographs.
Well, although painting will always be my first passion I will never say never to photography.

Hello my dear followers, I hope you all enjoy the spring arrival as much as I do...

As you know I like female Haiku writer. I am in search of a book called
"Chiyo-ni: Woman Haiku Master" by Patricia Donegan.
It seems the book is sold out. Maybe someone owns this book, has a copy and would send it to me or has connections. Please, contact me, even if you find it in your bookshelf. I would be very grateful.

take photographs
of beautiful women.
This is your impulse,
the eyes naturally gravitate
to the sweet milk skins,
the awkward and elegant curve of bone.

Take photographs
of everything,

but a historian:

This is important,

the peculiar dialects invented or assumed.
