The pictures in Oh, Garden Girl... were made in Portland, OR in 2017. It is intended as a sort of photographic love poem. The book is perfect bound, and printed on recycled Mohawk paper. The pictures are accompanied by poems written by Charles Bukowski. Oh, Garden Girl... was printed in a small edition, but a few copies still remain. Please message me directly if you are interested in seeing more of the book or getting a copy of the book.

an answer to a critic of sorts

a lady will perhaps meet a man
because of the way he writes
and soon the lady might be suggesting
another way of writing.

but if the man loves the lady
he will continue to write the way he does
and if the man loves the poem
he will continue to write the way he must

and if the man loves the lady and the poem
he knows what love is
twice as much as any other man

i know what love is.
this poem is to tell the lady that.
