Thoughts of a Tokyo, Japan-based editorial corporate portrait assignments photographer

To Shiojiri and back

I sit on the Azusa9 heading north,
I think I see the Virgin Mary on the side of a building, but it is rust,
then I do see Jesus on top of a building,
I smile.
After him, a buzzard sits on a fence.

On the way home, the weak winter sun peers over the snow capped mountains,
I pull down the train window shades to do my edit,
as I finish a man gets on and pushes the shades back up,
I choose 20 pictures.
Perfect.

The man sitting behind me constantly sucks his teeth.

    Is that a haiku? I suppose,it really only properly works if the 17 syllables are in Japanese. I don’t know which script.

    Truly, you are integrating.

    Haiku Garth!

  2. There once was a man from Nippon,
    Weighed down with bags of Nikon,
    With the click of a shutter,

    . . . someone else can finish it!

  3. switched back to Canon,
    again, took a pride in Nippon,

  4. There once was a man from Nippon,
    Weighed down with bags of Nikon,
    With the click of a shutter,
    He made his bread and butter,
    By shooting page 3 of the sun.

    … and the worst thing about Nikon is their t.v ads. 1/4000 in a dark bar!
