Street photography is actually my favorite. Capturing unpredictable moments is more luck than art. Here we see a man snap a pic of two women. The adoration in his eyes makes this moment memorable.

I don’t particularly like camels. They’re incredibly rude. This old camel looked away as I was setting up my shot because he’s rude but still I like how or came out.

The older gentleman stopped me I’m the baqaala (corner store) then requested I take his picture. His stoic, regal pose is a favorite with Arabs.

The man of the house with his younger siblings while his widowed mother looks on.

This older gentleman is an electrician. He invited me for a cup of tea inside his workshop.

Gabriel is a refugee from South Sudan. Due to his status he doesn’t have official papers. He works as a janitor and makes enough money to sustain him monthly. Despite his status and his meager wages, Gabriel is incredibly positive. He taught me a much needed lesson about patience and gratitude.
