Cityverse
Cityverse portrays a world in motion where lives unfold in fleeting moments of love, loss, joy, and solitude. Through candid street photography and the delicate precision of haiku and tanka, Dave Donelson offers an unfiltered glimpse into the poetry of everyday existence on city streets. Each image, each verse, is a captured breath of time-raw, un-posed, and profoundly human. Without structure or sequence, these moments invite you to wander freely, to pause, to see, and perhaps, to understand.
