Barry Allen writes: "I acquired my first camera as a university student and began a journey exploring photography. As an educator the camera became a way for my students to tell stories and share learning. As a Learning Specialist I encouraged teachers to evaluate and share learning with storytelling, photographs and photo essays. Now I teach photography, co-create and teach Haiga with Nika and make intimate images to inspire people to explore and “see” the world around them."
Nika is the pen name of haiku poet and retired educator Jim Force. Over the several years he has teamed with several different photographers to create haiga. Their work has been published in a variety of publications.
