After I left California in the winter of 2003, I thought I would never be able to step a foot again in the US of A. I guess you can never expect the surprises of life. My visit to Seattle was a reconciliation attempt.

Instead of studying microeconomics for my midterm exam, I stayed in middle of campus shooting the Lunar Eclipse of October 2004. Temperature was around freezing point. People gathered around this guy with a photo gear in the middle of a very cold night. I managed to answer a lot of questions but could not answer the exam's questions.
A nice Egyptian saying: When God distributed minds, everyone liked his own mind. When God distributed wealth, everyone liked the wealth of his brother.
This is where my little tripod refused to be nice and I spent a good half hour trying to set it.
Montreal is a city of a lot of churches. Pretty impressive ones from the inside and from the outside.
Five months ago, a good friend of mine asked me to take a photo of the colorful leaves of the Autumn. I did take the photo! But I just developed the roll few weeks ago. Sorry for the delay ya Heba!
The first city I visited outside Montreal was the good old Quebec city. Facinating European architecture. Chateau Frontenac is claimed to be the most photographed hotel in the world. I had to join the crowd!
In the pursuit of a big dream, I came to Canada. Being a country of immigrants, everybody is welcomed to share the goodies. It has been almost half a year now, I have to say I am getting a lot of the goodies.
The streets of Antigua are full of happy characters that would make you stop, admire, and they shoot!
Lake Peten. It witnessed my first kayaking experience. One day, I would love to have house by the lake or by the sea or by the ocean...but not by myself! Posted by Hello
The sound of my land! The essence of life in Guatemala. and in the rest of the world, I guess.
Not as facinating as the tombs in the West Bank in Luxor, still they hold a lot of history and tiny drawings on the walls. very tiny!
Everyday streets sellers would fill the street under the famous arc.
-Senor, una cosa para tu novia?
- No tengo una novia! -
-Para tu madre? Tu hermana?
Close to El Pasada de Don Rodrigo,where I stayed, lies this facinating old church. I do not recall that I needed to set my alarm. The bells would toll at 6:00 sharp.... and life would start directly after...
Antigua Cocktail. It is a strong cocktail. It would get you tipsy in no time. The main constituents: skies, clouds, volcanos, streets, roof tops, and houses. The best part is that this melange is served by people with a smile, positive energy, and humble spirit.
Now, let's get serious! How much am I getting for all this modeling?
After long negotiations, the young lady agreed to be photographed. By the time, she approved, there was a lot of traffic. But that did not stop us. We blocked the traffic and we took several shots. The only reward she got was the attention of the pedestrians and the drivers.
