Why am I doing this? What would I like the outcome to be? Why refugees in Syria? This and a lot more was what I had the chance to talk about when I was interviewed for a newspaper aimed at the Arab community today. It’s in Arab, so I’ll need to get my next door neighbour who works as a translator to work out what they end up writing about me. It’s kind of nice to get some attention. This was not the first interview I was a part of, but the first time I was the one who was asked.

Tomorrow I’ll finish what I started today, and that is putting the last pictures in frames. Framing them really make me think about my photography. The enormous journey that a picture takes from when the shutter is pressed to the final print, really puts everything in perspective. The hours that are put into a project like this has to be of little relevance in relation to the story that is to be displayed. But if the pictures does a poor job of telling it, then the journey is meaningless. Time will tell.

The picture above is one of the thousands of beautiful side streets you find in the old city in Damascus.
