!efatima's photostream
|
Just a simple girl who loves color, creativity, art, technology, philosophy, spirituality and psychology.
I'm a little fused (East & West).
On Photography, here are my prized (treasured) awards/recognition that give me hope and make me want to do better each time:
- Flickr Blog for variety by genius folk who run this place;
- Harvard University - Graduate School of Design;
- Photography Middle East Magazine;
- The 2005 Flickys People Choice Awards; and
- Testimonials here and what you see on this page.
Each comment, dedication or a card I receive is a present I cherish and it's the secret that fuels my creativity. What makes me special is you. Thank you for being part of my life and for making all the difference.
Here's my little brother Ziko. Been exceptionally blessed with a wonderful small family, fantastic friends and a great opportunity to get to know you wonderful people here.
As with groups: Created Catchy Colors, was gifted FlickrSoup for Soul and adopted Jewelry & Ornaments.
If it wasn't for the amazing inspiration, interaction with pros at flickr and the ease of use of the site and it's tools, I don't think I could have learned and achieved so much in just such a short span of time.
I hope you enjoy these pictures as much I did taking them. For me each one of them holds a story (most of times its me getting into new trouble), a sentiment or a near death experience trying to get that one good shot.
So relish the usual, unusually - at a twisted angle - efatima way :)

"Fatima... oh, Fatima. It's so difficult to express in a couple of lines all the things you are capable of awakening in the people who come to be luckily touched by knowing you. You are an icon of love, of strength, of generosity, humbleness and wit. You are the eyes of beauty (not only for you beautiful eyes but for how they magnifically capture the preciousness of every thing you come across with. You are definitely one of a kind, and of those people I deeply wish there were more in the world. You are a healer, a messenger of goodness and peace. And your photography is (just) one of the many gifted means to convey your message to the world. I wish you all the love, health, strength, good luck and success you deserve, which is so much more than anyone can imagine. An angel, Fatima, I am blessed to have met you. God bless you."

the-singing-photographer says:
"Fatima loves to experiment with colour, light, texture, and sparkle. She sees beauty and photographic potential in subjects that many of us tend to overlook. She has a flair for turning something simple into something dynamic and eye-catching. Some of my favorites are “Hanging Out”, Hot Turkish Coffee or…tea?”, Dedicated to catchy Colors Members” and “Hey! Check out that Couple”. She also loves variety, as you will notice in her photostream. This also makes viewing her set fun and interesting.
I also love her "Doorknob" Photo but it still needs a title...it is an orphan without a name. Cheers, Micki"20th February, 2008

Amber * says:
"Fatima is great --- I think of her as a spherical being, here talent / warmth / charisma come full circle to encompass her.
She has inspired me to become more community oriented on a global scale, and has helped me on more than one occasion to solve my group admin. woes...LOL.
If you take a look at her photography --- be prepared to be pulled in and engulfed by the beauty, depth and range of her subjects. Even the mundane subjects become a vision not to be ignored.
I expect to see her in the future covering for shoots that are shown on a global scale. The kind that make us flickrphotophiles drool."3rd August, 2007

KaptainKaveman says:
"Fatima has a "TON" of colorful, sharp, crisp and highly artistic images and in her flickr photo stream. I've followed it for about a year now and can say she is definitley in my ballpark of attention span artistically. A very impressive photographer and down to earth "East/West" person from my interactions with her. A warm and friendly soul on the internet and I'm pretty sure in real life also, lol. We probably won't see somewhere "Mass Murderer Fatima" as a headline in our lifetimes, lol, ;)"

Just visit her more often & discover even more!!
Thank you for your kindness & loving to the community.
You are great!!
I appreciate your everything!!"7th June, 2007

el patojo says:
"Without a doubt Fatima is one of the greatest photographers I´ve seen around. An inspiring photographer who captures the beauty and life of every subject. I confess I wasn´t aware of the greatness of her photostream, I´m glad I am now, and to know that I can come here any time to learn something new, to get inspired or just to admire the beauty of every single shot is fascinating.
Enjoy! And again, thanks for sharing your great shots Fatima."27th November, 2006

the tomahawk kid says:
"when fatima posts a new picture, it's not just a picture...it's got life, it's got heart and it's definitely got soul because she puts all that into every single one...it's little wonder that she is so adored by so many because all that heart and life and vitality spills out from the pictures and captures you in a way that very few others can...her pictures make you look at your world in a different way because she shows you there is a different way and it doesn't stop at the image...add to this the fact that flickr hasn't been a 2 way street for her for some time now due to her ISP blocking flickr and you begin to see just how special she really is, how dedicated to sharing her world...i take my hat off to you fatima...long may you continue to open our eyes...x"

"When I visit Fatima's photostream, there is one word that always comes to my mind... and it is: SUMPTUOUS which means rich and superior in quality.
Of course I could also use a few synonyms, like: awe-inspiring, beautiful, deluxe, elegant, gorgeous, grandiose, imposing, impressive, luscious, luxuriant, magnificent, opulent, palatial, pompous, posh, prodigal, splendid, splendiferous, ........ !
But be careful, visiting once, will get you addicted!!
Take care Fatima!"15th November, 2005

""Fatima has got a marvelous collection of great photos, though the subejcts she capture are very normal, yet the picture she produces is rare and unique! Fatima has a wonderful ability to choose the right words to complete her photograph.
I really don't know her in person, but from her pictures and other testimonials I can tell that she is a very kind, nice, sweet, lovely, artistic, courageous, strong-willed, passionate & and inspirational to all of us. She certainly deserves the awards she lately got.

"Efatima's photos remind me why I want to become a photographer, whether I make money with it or not. The joy of capturing the beauty of a mundane moment admist so much tragedy in the world. It's all I can hope for at times. Everyday is a new day, another flickr, another camera click.
She blows me away, her grace, beauty, and intense concentration come through in her ART. If I can photograph like her one day, I will be more than satisified.^

"The old man took his bones to the doctor, saying, "I cannot sleep at night, nor walk in the sun, for my bones ache." The doctor considered this for several long minutes in silence. At length, he took the bones from the old man and bade him to return home."

" "Efatima is one of a kind"
It's quite evident through her photos the wonderful talant she has..
Her letters and prayers and concern for all ....well, that speaks loud and clear her sensitivity and much love she has for all.
..Efatima is so full of life and zeal......
She has touched me so by her concern and prayers for my grandson Nicholas which made a great deal of difference in his life.
.. I am happy to give this testimony of thanks and praise to my sister for her very talented work and love for all.
Thank you Efatima..
your sister and friend,
Anna"25th July, 2005

"Fatima has an eye that sees the joy and the sacred in what most people would see as the mundane. I always find her pictures fascinating, even if the image is of the most common item. I've learned much from her creative passion as well as her dedication to the flickr community."

Olivander says:
"In Fatima, I have found: a teacher, an inspiration, an artist, eyes upon a new world, and, most of all, a friend.
In addition to both internal and external beauty, combined with a startlingly vast intellect, Fatima is one of the few I have encountered who I can say is in possession of raw talent on the level of genius."7th July, 2005

sam_ says:
"You might ask what is there to love about Fatima's photography? I would happily respond, what isn't there to love? Fatima has a wonderful eye for exciting visual details and has a way with color like no one else. When viewing her photographs I sometimes get a sense that the images are leaping forward from the screen because they are so intense. Fatima is a kind and thoughtful person and I see this reflected in her work and words. Thank you Fatima."

Thom says:
"Anything that could be said about Fatima has probably already been said, yet it bares repeating. Efatima has a true eye for wonderful, awe inspiring shots. She has a delightful, sometimes playful perspective on color theory and works wonderful spiritual magic that you can't help but be warmed by. She is a true asset to the flickr community.
And she takes some really bitchin' pictures!"5th July, 2005

Claudecf says:
" The pictures at Catchy Colors are just dazzling. I am learning a lot from this thriving group.
As for !efatima, she is not only an incredible photographer, but she is also brilliant at making things move in a pool, a dedicated photographer, and an admin full of energy and great ideas.
Keep us moving."23rd June, 2005

dlomaui says:
"I admire what efatima is doing on flickr. Recent years have seen too much focus on technology for the sake of technology. efatima is using the flickr tools to evolve a new social experience. She works her magic by contributing rich colours and a beautiful human touch.
I encourage all of you surrounded by too much sterile technology to try the very special !efatima cure: dedicate a screen to the RSS feeds from efatima's photostream and the Catchy Colors photo pool. Life will take a happy turn."21st June, 2005

Random and Odd says:

"Fatima,
Your pictures inspire me. The color and your eye for what is simplistic and beautiful is what speaks to me. Your pictues have such a positive aura that comes through. You are my first testimonial and felt the need to let you know that out of many pictures I've seen, your photos inspired me to be a better photographer and artist. Thank you!

Intelligent Sweetie says:
"Fatima... there are not enough words to describe her. Courageous, strong-willed, spirited, beautiful, sweet, lovely, passionate, a survivor, a true inspriation to us all.
Her photos reflect herself... so much more than you see on the outside. Truly worth more than a million words."2nd June, 2005

BenODen says:
"Fatima is warm, generous and has a mean eye. I mean, a real eye for beauty, no meanness in that! Her photos will knock your socks off and leave you wanting more, which hopefully will happen sooner rather than later.
I now see why she was missed so greatly. I was flickr young then, now I'm ready to fall in line. Hahah, kidding. But I am looking forward to seeing what the future (and past) holds. Keep on fighting and hopefully there will be many many more fine days getting finer days than bad ones."1st June, 2005

deVos says:
"And as I said before: "Besides being among the most talented photographers around, it's her personality that makes Fatima the real jewel she is.
The fact that Fatima features on the cover of the brochure for the Human Resource Development of Dubai is so symbolic. She is the kind of person you aspire to be, once she touches your life. Not only professionaly but also as a kind, caring, loving person with open mind, a great sense of humor and a humility that makes you forget any petty sorrows you might go through.
If every human being develops to be like her the world would be a better place.
Love and hugs, your friend, Kees.""29th May, 2005

"Fatima is not only an amazing photographer, she is an amazing person. Her images are very much a reflection of her personality... unique, artistic, inspirational, and beautiful are all words that come to mind when I browse her photostream. Her encouragement to others, artistic vision and beautiful images all make flickr a better place to be. I am grateful she is here."
