East meets West: September 2006

http://www.blog.rifaat.org/2006_09_01_archive.html

Be in this world as a traveller . . .'. Saturday, September 23, 2006. A day's exploring was not enough, and I could easily have spent weeks travelling the island contemplating its mysterious beauty. It was a deeply refreshing experience to feel so far away from Europe's big polluted cities and so close to nature, albeit a side of nature that I have never experienced before. In places the red earth made it feel like I was on Mars! Posted by Omar at 9:33 pm. Links to this post. Sunday, September 17, 2006.

East meets West: May 2006

http://www.blog.rifaat.org/2006_05_01_archive.html

Be in this world as a traveller . . .'. Friday, May 05, 2006. Born of earth, yet yearning for heaven. Aspiration far stronger than delicate stems. Petals mirroring the sun they seek. Clouds deter not their simple hopes. Short stems could never touch the skies. Yet their pure intentions pierce the highest veil. Posted by Omar at 11:39 pm. Links to this post.

Be in this world as a traveller . . .'. Sunday, March 26, 2006. Mallorca: The Cupola (Rollei view). The Cupola also looks great through the Rollei! The Cupola is a place that I return to every time I go to Mallorca. Its on the western edge near Valdemossa. It has a mythical feeling to it with the mountains plunging into the sea below and covered with mediterranean scrub clinging to the rock as if to avoid being hurled into the sea.

East meets West: January 2006

http://www.blog.rifaat.org/2006_01_01_archive.html

Be in this world as a traveller . . .'. Wednesday, January 25, 2006. My new Holga arrived last week and just received the first roll of film back from the lab. I chose Ilford Delta 400. I am delighted by the camera's ability to transform those everyday scenes near my house into otherworldy visions. A tree near my house:. View over French Street Valley. Posted by Omar at 10:44 pm.

Be in this world as a traveller . . .'. Thursday, March 15, 2007. Shop window in Paris. Posted by Omar at 11:20 pm. Links to this post. When I have time I like to take pictures. I like B&W film and old cameras. Mostly I use my 1939 Rolleiflex and my 80's Nikon FM2n, sometimes a Holga and others too. The more experience I get, the more I like to return to basics - simple cameras, B&W, Ilford film, hand printing. Photography for me is a way to see beyond the surface. View my complete profile.

Be in this world as a traveller . . .'. Tuesday, November 15, 2005. I took this shot as I was riding to Paris on my motorbike.
