Photograph does not made by camera only. It is all pictures you have seen, books you have read, music you have heard, people you have loved.

Personal Information
I was overjoyed when my uncle handed me a Kodak Camera and said, “This is yours now”. I was seven in 1985, but my joy exceeded the joy of Armstrong when he walked the first steps of humanity on the moon. At that moment I owned what created a joy and meaning in all my life.
Starting that day I was spiritually moved through the years and felt blessed every time I looked through the glass lens of my camera. It was a piece of crystal, which transferred with transparency the beauty of a country I lived through, the beauty of the most ancient countries of the world - Syria - where everything started.
