“I’d love to flood the public space with images that counteract the images we see of Muslims in the mainstream (corporate) Western media.”

— HijabMan, Artist’s Statement, A Different Lense exhibition, 4/3/06

I’m not a photographer nor am I a journalist trained to seek out interesting subjects and present them neatly labeled and interpreted. My only explanations are that 1. I’ve been living my life in freeze frames since the age of 12, and 2. I love beautiful things. I am just a Muslim who travels, studies, and sells funky t-shirts along the way. When the opportunities presented themselves, I captured the faces that touched me. I love to witness the reflection of the Divine in all that I experience; I love to make you a witness by posting these photos.

While not all of the prints are for sale, I encourage you to inquire if an image strikes you. Interested in buying five 4×6’s—great for postcards ($6) ? What about a 5×7 Or an 8×10. Contact me.
