Sparked by the sharing of a photograph and more photographs, Camera & Quill grew into a collaborative work of paired photograph poems with separate titles that reflect the photographer's and the poet's interpretations.

“... Neil Daswani’s spare and emotive words are a perfect foil for Anita Thomas’s extraordinary and original photographs. This impressive alliance of talents demonstrates the evocative power of collaboration at its very best.”

“... Poems speak to photographs and photographs to poems in ways that draw out subtleties and open possibilities. Anita and Neil bring the breadth of their life experiences to an interaction that affirms the joy and power of collaboration."
