Shaman In the Garden
Was it a shaman in the dense
underbrush watching me
or just a projection
of my insanity? A grown man
seeing a shaman in a leaf
might make one think,
"what a leap this guys taken
into whacksville. A leaf is a leaf."
Just last week
I saw the Mad Hatter in the bark of a tree,
a maiden on the face of the moon,
the Spanish Armada embedded
in stone, and King Solomon
on the front of a dried mushroom.
So yes,
to some, I'm partially whacked,
but really, I'm just a bloomin
pareidoliac.

I don't know what strikes me most - the photography or your writing. I think that's a good thing - I can see them exhibited together as they are here. What a terrific exhibition. I've collaborated a little with my brother who writes, me on the visual - but we do go back and forth at times (visa versa - me doing a little writing and he painting). I love your work - keep it coming our way.
