… photojournalism has its tremendous rewards and it’s wonderful work. In what other work can you wander aimlessly with a camera around your neck, armed only with your personal interest and your eyes? 
Poetry is my first love. Photography often fails to look into things. It looks at things. Poetry is so much more truthful. Be yourself and look outside of yourself.
