Just a brief word to announce that today I learned 
my poem below was awarded the Museum of Haiku Literature
Award by the Haiku Society of America for best poem published in the Autumn 2012 issue of Frogpond. I feel very honored to be chosen! [I tied with another person's poem, so we each are honored!]

Here is the poem (page 27):

new love the up and down of her teabag

Hello, I am still alive and kicking.  :)
I mostly have been pursuing my fine art photography,
which I believe is not too unlike haiku writing at least
in one respect. Each captures moments of experience.
Please check out my fine art photography site and also
a place to purchase products utilizing these photos.

I also have a photography blog (yeah, I know, yet another blog), which many publicizes my various sales. Hey, just window shop, no need
to buy.  :)

Take care and try to stay well!  :D
