As Long As You Are Alive Anything Is Possible

Today was supposed to be the day when I was to make the 2021 a better year than 2020 by doing our first dosage of a Covid-19 vaccine, but the UAE government decided to postpone it prioritizing on the people with chronic disease and elderly citizens. I gladly would give up my turn to receive […]

How Hard Could it Be to Photograph a Container Truck on the Dubai Meydan Bridge?

This is a story of organizing a photoshoot to happen in Dubai with the clients being in Germany and many circumstances coming in the process of trying to make it happen.

I believe I can fly or how I ran on the runway of DWC to shoot a plane landing.

4 years back to this day I got to shoot one pretty exciting project in the Dubai World Central Airport. That day marked the landing of the Four Seasons Private Jet carrying its passengers to Dubai for the first time in its history. The landing was announced to be at around 6 pm time, which […]

Shoot for the Stars, You Might as well See a Comet… or Not.

Art Is Not What You See, But What You Make Others See.

So the day has come, the doors of the gallery exhibiting my work are open, and for the first time I got to stand beside my photos and hear what people actually got to say about it. I must say, it is a very different feeling than reading Instagram comments. It is not the first […]

Reflections of rain, recollections of haze,Endless desert that never will cease to amaze,Now it’s sun,Now it’s storm,Now it’s rain,Now it’s warm,Now it’s a camel that got wrecked by the careless On the side of the road, Rest in peace, jamal, God Will take care of you, Now and Forever. Passing by I will nod say […]

No excuses.

Clouds are running wrapping Around Burj Khalifa today, Minutes away from the rain, Making reflections again With the million of lights, Seize the night, And let’s go for a ride, Wait for the green light Getting close to perfection, Catch the right intersection And let go of your fears, Change that gear, Now it’s you […]
