Closing my eyes with this image in mind, I can feel the same breeze on my sun on my skin and breeze in my hair from this day. And I can remember the sound of the tarp blowing gently in the winter breeze. That was […]

Inward facing
You know, I don’t have many words for this image. It was just a very pleasing scene that I saw while getting some fresh air on the rooftop of the apartment building I used to live in while in Bahrain. Funny—I captured a lot of […]
The infamous, Tree of Life
There’s a tree in the middle of the desert in Bahrain. It’s called the Tree of Life. It’s believed to be over 400 years old and no one seems to know how the tree is alive considering it’s in the middle of the desert and […]
The favourite view
On the one hand, it’s hard not to love a sea view. Which was actually the view through another set of windows from this same apartment. But this view—the rooftops of villa upon villa—was my favourite from this apartment. Every villa looking a little bit […]

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, […]
