For Learning Essentials I have written teaching notes to accompany videos.
Now I am passionate about blogging. This gives me the opportunity to accompany my photography with poetry ~ mainly haikus. My blog is

we ride their glass breeze / juddering / shunned / deep / desire
Your name in the sky / I wrote your name in the sky / When our skies were clear / / You became a cloud / A cloud among many clouds / Heralding showers /
Travelling by steam / Pioneer of empowered people moving / An adrenalin rush for the adventurous

Don’t speak of nothings / Let the waves bring you whispers
