A new project

Some of you may have noticed that every day, down in the Comments section, there’s a haiku about the day’s photograph. My friend Laurie Wagner Buyer Jameson writes them; I like the way those three-line verses add to the image that I captured. In fact, I liked it so much that I started to think about ways her words could get equal billing with the photographs.

And what Laurie and I decided to come up with is a new blog, The Poetry of Photography. For starters, we will be re-posting poems-and-images you may have already seen. And who knows where we’ll go from there.

So stop by and take a new look at our work. We think you’ll like it.

It’s a mystery.

I can find out these things about the late Mr. Tullos:
– He was born in Hazelhurst, Mississippi
– He was a farmer
– His wife, Viola, died in 1952
– Viola has a granite marker at her grave
– He was a member of the Church of Christ

What I can’t find out is why his marker is a plastic dishpan, filled with concrete, with a plastic cross planted in it.
