…. but still many more days to go by the (political) looks of it.
I have documented the first 101 days of lockdown in South Africa. All black and white pictures shot in and around our village (Napier, Western Cape).
The lockdown has eased a bit and we were able to open our gallery again.
You are welcome to visit and see a new series of jewellery and haiku photographs.

HAIKU AGE
Getting old is like
watching yourself riel dancing
in self reflection
HAIKU DANCE:
Slow song sweetly sung
she sways gently. wishing for
his tender embrace.
Next month at the Baardskeerdersbos Art Route I will officially launch my new colourful Haiku photographs as guest artist of Liz Van Den Berg (Gyotaku prints) at Tierfontein. Baardskeerdersbos is a hamlet tucked away between Gansbaai and Bredasdorp in the Overberg, Western Cape, South Africa.
Imagination
Invites opportunity
that you didn’t see
My recent Haiku photo’s with haikus can be enjoyed in this link (opens in new window)
A few examples:
This year I am booked for three exhibitions of my Haiku photography. The first one is in April and time flies. I need to create 12 new ones and I just finished 5. So 4 more to go. The fifth is a triptych (Earth, Wind and Fire) with 4 haikus:
I am seen by name
Several things dance to beat
Warn; Gargoyles here
…………………………………
(Earth)
Hovering over
fathomless waters dark, deep
earth awakes from sleep
………………………………….
(wind)
Windy afternoon
the Gargoyle confronts both;
angel and devil
………………………………….
(fire)
The whirling spirits
try to fire the gargoyle
disappear in air
The Haiku photo’s of the triptych are printed on Fuji 300 gsm paper (A2 size). The others will all be printed on rice paper in A4 size and framed (with passe partout) in A3 sized frames for which I made an own design and looking now for a frame maker who likes a challenge.
The four that are ready:
The Haikus that go with these:
Haiku Africa
Whispering winds
The ancestors voices
The Soul of Africa
HAIKU EMULSION:
Little more than
pulsing emulsion
the man fighting himself
HAIKU STREAM
Blue Stream glistening
Hiding in the deep valley
Where I know I’m safe
HAIKU DANCE
Slow song sweeltly sung
she sways gently. wishing for
his tender embrace
Autumn leafs on a quilt
The woman’s eyes amazed
by the pure land on silk
Whispering winds
The ancestors voices
The Soul of Africa
