I'm from New York. I enjoy photography. I point, frame, click, and let the creative juices flow.

I feel connected to my surroundings through my camera these days. As cheesy as it may sound, for that particular moment, when the shutter clicks, I can almost sense everything around me freeze. Traffic stands still; babies stop crying; people stop complaining; spouses stop bickering; countries stop fighting; cars stop honking; phones stop ringing; and everything in my world comes to a complete stop. Well.. not really that engaging but.. you get the point.

It's a nice feeling that's only revisited when I'm viewing my shots, imagining myself strolling through a silent world, surrounded by these photographs, recalling the moments I snapped them, thinking back on what compelled me to take the shot. These are my memories.

Photography can mean many things to different people. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. My words may not be the same words as yours. My words may even be in a different language. My words are all over my pictures.

Salaam.
