After three and a half very tough dog years in America, I had the chance to visit Lebanon in April 2001, around Easter time. Things were going well for me, at least once in my life. I was consulting in Information Technology with a Fortune 500, I had a great salary, a great exciting career path full of promise ahead of me... I had missed it so much, and now since my immigratioon papers were straight, I wanted to visit the Homeland . For the first time in my life, I felt like a man... I had money in my wallet which I had earned, I was proud of my achievements, and I was going to make my parents proud as well... When your soul is happy, you see the world through Angelic eyes... Everything in Lebanon had a beautiful, nostalgic, magical impression on me... Every street corner, every face, every character... I was over-joyed to take the following photos... This is my Lebanon. I hope you like what you see.

* "Batool and Imaan" and "Sohat" were published in The Voice, the English-language monthly magazine for foreign students of Leuven, Belgium in the 7th April/May 2002 issue, year 5, in the article "Lifting The Veil" (article on the discrimination against muslim women in the west).

Dear Surfer,

By these photos, I hope I can bring an authentic piece of Lebanon to you. Enjoy. And many thanks to all those who gave me positive reviews of these photos. Truely this, and the pleasure I derived from taking these shots, is my greatest pay-off.

Sincerely,
