Here's a collage of people and faces. Whether one is in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan each of these countries have populations of Kazakhs, Kyrgs, and Uzbeks. The blood lines of traditional tribes don’t recognize political borders. Add to this mix the Slavic Russians, Ukrainians and more. On any given day if you look into someone’s face you have no guarantee what country you’re in. But they all have a common humanity. We’re all the same, but different.

The Nature poetry below is my retreat to a sanctuary outside social tensions and to discipline myself to a few words,
often "haiku" with a three-line 5-7-5 syllable format. They are grouped by month and are simple word paintings matched with photography. In the midst of cultural debate they serve as islands of calm and imagination.
