A poem in the form of a Japanese haiku consists of no more than three short lines, 17 syllables in total, and it’s usually a somewhat quirky observation of a fleeting moment in time. Often involving nature, seasonal changes, and featuring crisp punchlines, we felt tempted to present our first impression of the following photographs as haikus – flying down five steps, then seven, then five again. Here you go: No drafts or second thoughts, it’s all about pure expression of a sudden insight.

Karsten

following nature
modern kid of pure skating
total razorblade

Phil

in the gang of crooks
no one is leading the force
stop pretending please

Michi

they are watching you
you never live in freedom
pushing boundaries

Taipei

windows of the world
turning around in their mind
it’s a different view

Béziers

story of the bird
turning around in their height
endless energy

Nassim

time is ticking fast
go up go down round and round
irresistible

Ignacio

searching for a chance
still waiting for the big break
damn it don‘t give up
