photo-haiga
Haiku Master Gabriel Rosenstock works with American master photographer Ron Rosenstock (no relation) to produce images and haiku or haiku-like aphoristic text which they call photo-haiga.
Haiku “owes its impact and inspiration to a meditative flash
in which the experiencer of the haiku moment
merges suddenly with perceived phenomena.”
– Gabriel Rosenstock

The Invisible Light
Through photography I have sought to explore the space between the finite and the infinite.
For me, infrared photography is on the borderline,
the veil between the known and the unknown …
a search for what is beyond the doorway of perception.
What draws me—what speaks to me—is the mystery.
—Ron Rosenstock
