khateeb88's photostream |
I'm a high school history teacher in Chicago. I spent 3 years studying civil engineering at UIC, but as my GPA continued to drop like the economy, I switched to history, specifically Islamic history. I finished up my degree in 2010 and got lucky enough to land a teaching job right out of college. Thank God.
I LOVE history. That makes teaching 400% more fun.
I just got a Canon EOS XS recently (ok, a year ago) and I'm slowly learning how to take good pictures with it. Any constructive criticism on my pictures is greatly appreciated :)

Ana 'Abdillah binti Hasan says:
"The teacher at the photo course I am attending is right again. It's not the camera, it's the photographer. I am blessed for given the chance to use one of those high-end, and yet, many of my photos were not as good as what Khateeb had taken. Keep it up Khateeb!"
