“Photography: Forming Bonds of Karma”

[W]ith these clouds and fountains I form bonds of karma

Po Chu’i (772-846)

I wonder if that’s what I do
with every cloud and fountain
– and all else –
I photograph.

I speak of the process
as us
– the subject and Nikon and me –
forming a relationship,
but perhaps
“forming a bond of karma”
is more appropriate.

And with the later viewer, too.

I’d like to think so.
