The Story Of Us

Islamic Pattern   - Back in 2007 when I was in my last year of college our class went on a trip to Iran. We travelled to Tehran, Isfahan and Yazd. This photograph was taken inside Jameh Mosque in Yazd, Iran. This 14th-century Azeri-style Shia mosque features blue tilework, 2 domes & 2 minarets. You can buy this print  here .

                               This is my last photograph from my hand series. It was part of a school project and I needed to have a certain amount of photographs and well I was struggling to fill in that last spot. So this was a little experiment. I found a pane of glass, painted my hand with red paint, a flashlight and well this was the result.  This print and other products can be purchased  here  and here .                                            Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle  

Another hand photograph from the archives. In South Asia, on joyous occasions like weddings we purchase garlands made of rose and place them around the necks of the happy couple. There are different types of garlands made for different occasions. This photograph is off a man's hands as he is threading roses onto a string onto thread.  This print can be purchased  here .                                                                   Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle

                               Another hand photograph from the archives. This one was taken in Karachi, Pakistan. This photograph is of Sakina, our maid at that time. A fact that surprises some is that most people in 3rd world countries have maids. I went to her home where she ground herbs between two rocks. She is wearing glass bangles and her nail are colored orange with a henna, an alternative to nail polish.  This print can be purchased here .                                       Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle  

  Another hand photograph from the archives. This one was taken in Karachi, Pakistan. Getting this picture was a right place at the right time situation. I was in the backseat of the car waiting just like this man here for the light to turn green. His ring adorned hand hanging out the window. It was a quick moment and I just happened to have my camera with me. Lucky me. This was in the pre cell phone era.. You can buy this print  here .

                               Today I share another photograph from the archives. Also another photograph of a hand. This photograph was taken in Karachi in a wicker furniture makers workshop. It was a long time ago so I don't remember what it was that he was making but I remember the movement of his fingers, working so quickly weaving the bamboo.  Prints can be found here                                 Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle  

I am going to be sharing another one from the archives. This above photograph was taken in Karachi. On of the women from the janitorial staff in my college was sitting on the bench taking a break and I found the warm brown of her skin so beautifully complemented by the orange of her shalwar (a baggy pant like garment worn by women in South Asia.. think hammer pants) The print is available for purchase here                                  Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle             Society6  

                  I am going to be sharing another one from the archives. This above photograph was taken in in Shiraz, Iran in 2007. Shiraz is the fifth most populous city in Iran and known as the city of literature and poets. It is also known for it's beautiful gardens.  We were visiting Iran on a school trip and this was taken at the Mausoleum of Saadi, a famous Iranian poet from the 13th century. Now I don't know much about the poet but back in his day we was considered a master of speech.

This one is also from the archives. I love seeing the evolution of my work. I use to love to really zoom in on the details but now I often zoom out to get the bigger picture.  I took this one many many years ago, I was still in college and we went on a class trip to Iran. I know to many Iran sounds like a scary place but when we went some 18 years ago it was a beautiful place full of art and architecture. Yes, they were very strict about the hijab which was difficult for us because contrary to belief the hijab or burqa is not mandatory in Pakistan.  This picture is of a hand carved wall inside a mosque. I am fuzzy on the details but such details are very commonly found amongst Islamic architecture. While I no longer sell this photograph in my Etsy store it is available for purchase at Redbubble .   Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubb...

Things have been busy so I haven't had the time to edit any of the 1000's of photographs I have so I going back and pulling something out of my archives. This above photograph was taken over 17 years ago. It was taken for my college thesis. I had a photography minor and I did my final project on hands. This is my brothers hand and I remember taking it in the bathroom because we didn't want to accidentally set the house on fire.  While I no longer sell this one in my Etsy shop I do have it listed on Redbubble, You can find this picture on pillowcases, and blankets and shower curtains and many more products.  Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Redbubble             Zazzle             Society6
