It shouldn’t be too hard to understand why I call this photo “the cylon”. If you don’t get it, let me Google that for you. When the dust rolled in, in Bahrain, by the time the sunset it’d usually be rolling out. And then at […]

An accidental theme
Looking back of this past week’s posts, towards the end of the week, it looks like I stumbled on an accidental theme—images of the backs or sides of strangers. Leaning into that for today’s post. Captured in December 2017 in Bahrain. Taken at what was […]
Alleys to get lost down
Another one from Manama souq in Bahrain. Probably one of the last photos I took of the souq before moving to the US. And probably one of my most visited parts of souq. For those last couple of weeks in Bahrain at least. You see, […]
Surrounded
Sometimes, I’m in the right place at the right time. To be honest, that’s how most of my photography actually goes. Rarely do I plan to go out specifically for photography. Which I need to change—when summer’s over. These two people were totally mesmerised by […]

Weaving around plastic baskets, tables piled with kids clothes, and other seemingly random odds and ends. I don’t buy anything. Or very rarely. There’s something about walking around a souk. Even the incredibly quiet Muharraq souq, in Bahrain, on a Sunday afternoon. There isn’t anything […]
Happy accidents
I wish I was standing a little bit more to the left. I wish there wasn’t such a breeze flapping the balloons around. I wish I’d realised the potential comedy I was capturing rather than the happy accident I came out with. But sometimes happy […]
