Middle East Cool Shots
May - June
2002
These are some of the shots that I've pulled out from the hundreds I
took .... well cause I liked them, they seemed unusual or just came out
well ... despite my SLR giving up the ghost in Syria. Funnily
enough, the best photos came from the digital camera...Enjoy...

as serving as a light well.
