Hands

A photograph is not only an image (as a painting is an image), an interpretation of the real; it is also a trace, something directly stencilled off the real, like a footprint or a death mask. Susan Sontag

I usually go through Pbase.com looking at the pictures photographers take, but I never take time doing that...I merely scroll through them not usually paying much attention to the details of the pictures. Yours are...I can not find the exact word to express what I feel looking at each picture. The details, the curves, the light, the shades, the colors, and the expressions you are trying to expose. You have an exquisitely beautiful collection of pictures and a professional eye that captures such remarkable views. I just would like to draw your attention to a minor thing, and be sure that I am not aiming for any trouble for you or to your collection and I am dead sure that you meant nothing wrong. I have noticed that you are refering to some girls in yoru pictures by "Islamic girls" where it should be "Muslim girls"...with the first one you are refering to a constant thing like ceramics...but the girls are alive and expressing Islam beautifully in your pictures. I just love your pictures and I hope you are not offended by my minor comment. Thank you and I wish you all the good wishes. Sameh Ahmed.
