The Stupid pre-judging freaks

I was going over my friend’s blog http://irrelevantcombinations.blogspot.com and came across one of his posts that discusses the American controversy taking place nowadays due to the plan of building a new mosque in Manhattan.

Looking at the comments and how some people react stupidly just amuses and bothers me at the same time. I have just had a look at my watch and found out we are in 2010, where some people are still utilizing 600 B.C brain engines. 

This entry’s objective is just to give an idea on how people that are at least “claimed to be educated” should evaluate topics, discuss controversies and look at things while living in the era of Globalization. The world is one village and you would surprisingly find millions who still think that a soccer ball is squared.

It would be great if people start to look at things differently before judging any topic.

Quick few steps to do that can be but not limited to:
1- Step out of your thoughts and beliefs.
2- Understand and define what your objectives are
3- Look with a naked eye not having an influence affecting your way of studying that topic
4- look around and search multiple sources
5- Ask people from both opposing point of views and listen to them and try to understand objectively


IT is just sad how millions of Christians , Muslims, Jews, Atheists are judging each other without even having a basic fundamental clue of what is going on.

My First Photo Entry

I have been trying to learn professional photography for 3 years so far. I started learning with the guidance of my photography master and who happens to be a very good friend of mine as well Shady Enbashi. I confess that I didn’t put the extra mile yet due to different reasons, however; I did learn a lot.

I currently use a Canon 5D, however; this entry’s photos were shot by my first baby Canon G7.

A view from my hotel room overlooking the Nile River, Cairo, Egypt. This was my first trip to Egypt. Definitely not the last one.

The previous two photos were my toughest challenge in photography so far. I was driving back from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and as soon as I hit Jebel Ali the storm stroke. I decided to take a shot and ended up covering under the rain using my car’s sun shade for almost 3 hours.

Fighting for survival

This shot is so dear to my heart and whenever I see it I can’t help not staring at it for minutes for an unknown reason.
