About yaznotjaz / Yasmine

Say it like this: yahss-MEEN.

I take pictures - and write - because I honestly believe the mundane is the edge of glory.

Flickr is, so far, an exercise in practicing brevity. This explains the lack of emphasis, for the most part, on titles and captions. For long words and even lengthier paragraphs, check the weblog, where conciseness has never been my strong suit.

"I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs."

Testimonials

H@shim A™ says:
"Yasmine does not like chai... but I forgive her.

Mainaly because she is a total rockstar.

I dig her sunny disposition, her bell bottoms, the fact that is left handed, reminds herself where she parks by writing on her hands and also how she can apply muddy mehndi oh so well.

She can *lead lines* like no other and I wish her *good light* for her fotograffy and for her roaming around the west coast (and beyond).

Yes she's a crackhead, but she's got an awesome vibe!

*this is an edit and a post addition.

Yasmine wrote this and it made me laugh my ass off!

*I take lots of photographs and use flickr as an exercise in practicing brevity, but the brevity part hasn’t been working out so well. This is what happens when you make friends.*

ha!

i'll be back to add more stuff when i see fit!

ha!"

"If yaz's ability to capture stunning images through words is not enough, now we can appreciate the beauty of the world through her eyes via her awesome digicam. Clickety click, rockstar!"
