私はラッキーですよ。私の彼女はアッシュリーベアです。彼女はジャーナリストと中学の先生として社員だったけど今マーケティングの経営学修士があります。でも彼女の写真はきれいだと思って、彼女がもっと撮影くれたいです！それに私は詩を書くのが好きだけど詩を書く時間がありません。とにかく、先日、彼女が私に「新しいプロジェクトを一緒にやりたいの？」と言いました。そして「詩撮影」というプロジェクトは生まれました！

私が詩を書いて彼女は私の詩に似合う写真を取ります。そしたら彼女が新しい写真を取って私は彼女の写真に似合う詩を書きます。いいんでしょう？

私は今晩に初めての詩をポストします。今朝にもう書きました。楽しみですね！

I’m a lucky man. My girlfriend, Ashley Baer, was a journalist and middle school teacher, and now she’s got an MBA in Marketing, but I think her pictures are gorgeous and I really want her to do more photography! I also love to write poetry, but I never find the time to do it, so the other day she said to me, “You want to start a new project together?” And the concept of the Photography/Poetry Project was born! But I’m calling it Shisatsuei because I think the name is too boring. Maybe we can call it the PPP for short. Is that weird? It might be weird.

Anyway! Basically, I write a poem, and she takes a complimentary picture to accompany it. Then when she takes another new picture, I write a poem to go along with it in kind. I think it’s an awesome idea and I’m super excited to get started! In fact, I’ve already written the first poem and will post it later tonight. I’m really looking forward to this project, and I hope you guys can join us as we go! I will undoubtedly be drawing inspiration from Japan as soon as I get over there in September (and my flight is less than a month away now, holy cow!).

So until next time, guys!

またね！
