Lonely Tree -- There was a bunch of trees in the Lake Sammamish Park in Washington, and for some reason this tree was alone in front of the lake, when I put the tree in the middle between me and the sun, it glowed .. and a thought came into my mind... wow !, this needs to go on my blog. I had to stand next to the smelliest garbage i ever stood next to (i still remember, the smell was a mixture of orange juice, meat and i don't know why... cotton candy :S) but the picture was worth the stink :P Posted by Picasa

The importance of creating a Kuwaiti Professional Photography Association. Okay, it comes to this, We have many people that take photography as a hobby, and like anywhere in the world, we have people that want to take it as a profession. Currently in Kuwait, almost all the photographers that are out in the journalism field are foreigners (please don't take any offense, its reality :P) who don't care about the pictures they take, they just take pictures to satisfy their boss and get their monthly wages. And what about the pictures that are taken on the local soccer field, would you even compare those pictures to the ones on sports illustrated or the ESPN magazine ? We need to address this issue, because Kuwait needs to open up that the field of photography to Kuwaitis. And im sure that even though they open the field of photography to kuwaitis, these poor kuwaitis are going to be sacrificing their interests over career. So, if we had a Kuwait Professional Photography Association, this association can offer incentives other than salaries that can benefit those Kuwaitis. But not everyone would be a member of this association, it will only be the best of the best photographers, not those who do it just for a salary, but those who studied photography at qualified institutes, those who worked overseas as professional photographers. When the amount of members increase then as an association, pictures taken will stand out between the pictures taken by the local journalists. Imagine pictures of a Qadsia game moment, that looks like an a Juventus game moment in an Italian sports magazine. Imagine pictures of Kuwaiti deserts, that look like the Grand Canyons desert in a National Geographic magazine. Finally imagine the pictures of influencial arab people and leaders taken as if they were on the cover of time magazine. I would really like this to happen.....
