the haiku

My brother, Webster Miller, is a talented still photographer. In April of this year he embarked on a project of creating a short film for the Reduser 4k Portrait Competition. This was his first film undertaking ever! I was thrilled when he asked if I would help in the making of this film and provide the calligraphy. We brainstormed together and came up with the idea of basing the film around a one line haiku. (There is a great resource for the practice of the one line haiku here.)

The calligraphy in the film is an italic hand written with a Brause nib and sumi ink.

Please view the film by clicking the picture below.

The Haiku placed as one of the top ten finalists and received special recognition at the Reduser Party. The top 10 films were on display all evening in a venue similar to an art gallery layout. You can learn more about RED here.

My brother is so talented. I know every little sister probably says this about her big brother, but in my case it's true. :)

Seriously, I am proud of my brother. He is a photographer in the Dallas, Texas area. This is his second career and man has he found his gift. Recently, he came home to Louisiana to take some portraits on location and, fortunately, I was able to have the time to assist him. His set up is impressive to say the least, and the results speak to this. But as with any creative art, the right tools help, but without the knowledge and natural eye, that equipment will only take a person so far.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Check it out and see for yourselves here. www.WebsterMillerPhotography.com
