I’ve been quiet on the blog since Ramadan, but pretty much I moved down to the Jordanian desert and lived there for a couple of months. I was a co-producer on a new Jordanian feature film that promises to take Jordanian cinema to a new level I hope. Most of the photography I have done … Continue reading The Last Quarter of 2012 – Photos with the Fuji X-Pro1
As promised here is the continuation of yesterday’s blog post, but this time the photos posted are in black and white, which tends to be my preference for this type of photography, yet the X-Pro 1 has been pushing me to shoot a bit more in color and look at things differently. The photos were … Continue reading B&W photos from the streets of Amman in Ramadan – Fuji X-Pro 1
I’ve been taking my Fuji X-Pro 1 everywhere I go, and I can’t stress enough how much better my shoulders feel already. It’s a pleasure to shoot with this camera and although I’m just stuck with my 18mm lens at the moment it keeps on forcing me to try and get closer. In this post … Continue reading First post in Ramadan: Color photographs from the streets of Amman with the X-Pro 1
In the previous entry I posted some black and white images made with the Fuji X-Pro1, as promised here are some color images made with that camera.

Last week I took the dive and bought myself the Fuji X-Pro 1 alongside their 18mm F2 … Continue reading Fuji X-Pro 1: Is this the camera i’ve been waiting for…and can afford?
Ramadan marks one of my favorite times to walk the streets of Amman with my camera. Over the past week I headed downtown a couple of times before and after Iftar and captured some images that i’m sharing on the blog today. I spotted a bakery that makes Tanoor bread and spent sometime there. I … Continue reading Amman: Ramadan Captures
Last night after iftar I headed to the Syrian Embassy in Amman, where Taraweeh prayer was being held in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Syria. There was a big crowd and a makeshift prayer area was created across the street from the embassy. It was beautiful and moving to see such a number … Continue reading In Solidarity with Syria : Taraweeh Prayer in Amman
A couple of months ago I got the chance to visit Bangkok for a week to photograph and attend a friend’s four day Palestinian-Indian wedding. As usual I had a bunch of film cameras with me and shot tons of film with the Leica, the Rolleiflex and I even pulled out my Widelux Panoramic camera … Continue reading Bangkok in Color
On a visit to Cairo last summer, I had the chance to shoot and direct a music video for Arabian Knightz, Egypt’s premier hip hop crew. The track is off Dj Lethal Skillz’s upcoming album “Karmageddon” which is one album i’ve been anticipating and looking forward to. Having heard a number of the tracks on … Continue reading Operation Lost Art – New Music video for Dj Lethal Skillz & Arabian Knightz
