"You know what a camera is?
A mirror with memory."

Most my photos have a single moment meaning,
while others might tell a whole life story.

Some photos stay untitled for they are meant to be that way.
Others are not even meant to be seen. till further notice.

Every photo has its meaning, a single moment or a story.

I capture the feelings written on the human face.
This is what My Photography is all about.


"There are always two people in every picture:
the photographer and the viewer. " ~Ansel Adams

I started photography in 2008, not that I've never taken photos before that but it is the year when I decided to learn about photography, practice it, buy a good
camera and join flickr.


And this is what I do (so far) : - a painter - a scuba diver ( master scuba diver - NAUI ) and a photographer..and none of that I do for a living..but driven by passion and purpose.

    "as I promised! :) "I'll edit it later on" .. and later means now! ..

    Roumiyah is one of a very kind photographer here in flickr. She's deeply passionate about photography, about what she's capturing!. And, each photo holds hundreds of meanings behind it! I always thought that a photo could be a mirror which reflect the photographer's heart! & mind . It couldn't be more pure than here ( her stream ).
    Through your photos I can see the delicate soul you're holding!.. the beautiful smile among the haze. It's just like we're actually enjoying emotions, feelings, stories, arts and photography all by drawing a perfect piece that might tell us something about you!.
    I didn't meet Roumiyah in person =) but, I can sense that everyone around her should considered " lucky "

    best wishes xox"

    "روميه
    مهما قلنا شوية بحقها

    لديها كم كبير من الأحاسيس في لقطاتها كل صورة تحكي قصة معبرة و مختلفة عن التي سبقتها
    كل صورة تحمل معنى و حكاية محفورة تحتاج الى من يتأمل و يمعن النظر فيها
    التقاطاتها هي لمتذوقي الفن من الدرجة الأولى فقط
    ليست لما لا يمتلك حس فني ابدا !
    وفقك الله لما يحبه ويرضاه
    اختج الصغيرة

    "dear wife ,,

    my advise to you is :

    Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.

    to be honest with you ,, you really are a talented photographer ,, so do not waist that talent because it worths more ,, i think that in the future if you kept that track & worked more on this talent you well only find the beautiful success in your way ,, so what i have to say is keep up the beautiful work your doing & don't stop this amazing track ,, cant say more then bravo roumiyah ,,

    best regards
    from your husband
