When a JOB becomes a LIFE style

When a JOB becomes a LIFE style
Let me tell the story about this shot .. one of the last year work =)
While we were driving in Bahrain ( Actually we lost the way =p ) .. we found a very small shop hiding between buildings .. it was for ( handmade baskets ) .. Luckily this time my camera was in the car .. so I stopped there to have a close look .. Unfortunately it was closed .. I asked the neighbors and they said an old man owns this shop and everyday he comes over in the afternoon ..
I really wanted to meet this guy coz the stuff he makes are very interesting ..
when I came back .. I found the shop open .. and "Alhaj Ali" was there ..
I was surprised ! he was blind .. and still makes baskets perfectly !
I had a little chat with him .. he started in 1989 .. I bought some stuff and asked him If I can take some shots and he didn’t mind at all ..
Really the place is awesome .. if you need anything from there I’ll be happy to send you some .. just ask =D

Ahmad .. the dead terrorist
Oct 15th
Maybe you know what I mean by this title, If not have a look at this video:
I’m not going to talk about this particular video (which is 2 years old) .. I want to talk about the idea in general .. Is it true that this is what they -you- see us as “Muslims” in the other part of the world ?
I agree that this is what the media shows, Muslims are people who know nothing, live in caves or above trees and thinking about killing other people. But we all know that media ,most of the time, is not “real”.
My name is Ahmad, I always get comments about this video, and still “The dead terrorist” is one of my 3 nicknames here ( I’ll write a separate blog about this later ) .. honestly, I don’t get mad about the name .. but I get mad when we just rely in such media about these facts .. Since when we judge based on what we hear instead of what we see ? .. “See” doesn’t include what you see in TV.
If I use the same way .. I will come with the conclusion that all white Americans are racist against other nations, all black people are criminals, Mexico still using donkeys as #1 transportation vehicle and French people using cheese as perfume. But this would be just wrong =) .
Have a look in this video as well .. this is what I mean “Positive”:
If you search and look around, and you still came up with the same conclusion, I will respect that, at least you did your part =)
You Will Never Walk Alone
Sep 29th
Liverpool Logo
- “You will never walk alone”, when you see this phrase the first thing will pop up in your mind is Liverpool’s famous quote .. I really like this quote – despite the fact that I’m a Liverpool fan- .. Away from football, I can say this is totally right .. we are never alone .. I’m not talking about friends, they come and go ( .. ) .. I’m not even talking about human beings =) .. I’m talking about the one who said “I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me” .. If you need someone .. Allah(God) will be there always for you .. Just try and ask =)
NOTE: To “You”, I didn’t forget and I’ll never forget what today is .. But I don’t have the right to say it .. Wish you all the best =)
You Came to Me – Sami Yusuf
Aug 22nd
Just a few days ago, Sami Yusuf has finished this great single “You Came to Me” which is gonna be one of the songs in his upcoming new album. This single is FREE to download through Sami Yusuf Official Website, Enjoy =D
“…This is a very personal song for me. I wrote the words and music in the early hours of the 23rd November 2008 at a time when I was feeling lots of different emotions; lost, betrayal, hurt, frustration. At that very moment it occured to me how truly blessed I am to be the slave of the One and in an instant flashback, my Journey to Him unfolded in front of me. This song is a mini encapsulation of that flashback. I hope you will all enjoy it iA.” Sami said.
The song was lunched with a great music video, The video was recorded in Denmark and directed by Jacob Vitt. Graphic designing -which I liked so much in this vedio- was made by THANK YOU. you can watch it here:
I’ll take this occasion to wish you all a Happy and blessed Ramadan =)

One “Pop-up” Dream ..
Jun 1st
you know, sometimes we have these weird dreams .. they pop up from time to another .. and they just disappeared in few days .. Well, I just had one of these in my mind .. but this time, I want it to be for real .. and as a first step ( and for sure I need a million more ) I decided to “capture” it as a blog ..
As a photographer .. Sorry, I mean as a “Semi-Photographer”, best moments come when a photographer reflects and converts such a beautiful seen or a magical landscape into a “Photo” .. a photo where is no eye can differentiate, is it really a photo ? Well, Someday I will achieve this level “Inshallah” ..
Back to my dream, (Yes I know I went far away but be patient =D) .. What I was trying to say is, different people have different ways converting these moments into a piece of “Art” .. Not any art .. It is True “art” .. Let me talk about this guy .. Allah(God) gave him this amazing voice .. he could of be like anyone one out there is singing for money, for fame .. but no .. he chose to sing for what it is more valuable .. for things that could make us better people .. the only thing I can do is asking Allah giving him the constancy in what is he doing ..
My Dream – Finally =p – is to have a photo-session with this guy .. It would be such an honor to me .. giving my camera the chance to take a valuable “moments” .. and convert them into “Photos” ..
Who knows =) ?
P.S. Did I forget something ? .. Nope .. I didn’t say who this guy is .. and I did that in purpose .. maybe someday if my dream come true you will know =)
