The Jama Masjid in Old Delhi, India – I believe India’s largest Mosque – one of my favourite buildings in the world. I love Islamic art and architecture. I wanted to create something different when photographing this beautiful building. Architecture pictures can be boring and lifeless – I didn’t want to represent the Jama Masjid in this way, because it is so full of life. I asked the boy in the foreground to run through the flock of pigeons so they would fly upwards, away from the building. It was a nice coinsidence that he was positioned in the doorway. This effect achieved, to me, looks like angels flying out of the Mosque. Angels of Allah.

This is my tribute to Muntazer al-Zaidi. The legendary journalist who threw his shoe at George W Bush during his farewell visit to Iraq. Clearly it is based on Banksy’s “Flower Chucker” stencil which is based on a photo from the 1968 riots in Paris. I’ve tried to keep it faithful to both Banksy and Muntazer by illustrating his head as close as possible to the original press conference image, in the style of “Flower Thrower”. I also illustrated the shoe to fit his hand just nicely and added a bit of definition to the fingers. Love to know what you think. Good riddance George Dubbaya. Muntazer al-Zaid may be the thrower, but you certainly are the tosser. / / / / / / /

This generous man let me take a photo of him while sitting in a very humble store, but it was the photo of him having enough that i like best, and that is the shot you see here.

‘Atticus – ’ said Jem bleakly. ‘How could they do it, how could they?’ ‘I don’t know, but they did it. They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it – seems that only children weep. Good night.’ / “Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird” Open to interpretation – I’d love to hear what you think, and see if i got across the point i was trying to.. / The reference photo was taken by frixen on DeviantART (www.frixen.deviantart.com)

Taken a couple of days ago in Ilha do Mocambique, a small island forgotten some 2500km from Mozambiquan capital Maputo. It is less than 3 km long but has more than 1500 years of history. Until 1898 this was the capital of the Portuguese colony of Mozambique and the focal point of their trade and industry. The island was a major Arab port and boatbuilding centre long before Vasco da Gama visited in 1498. The island is an amazing melting pot of cultures with influences of Madagascar, Tanzania, India, Portugal, Brazil, and the Middle East, even if 85% of the inhabitants are Muslims. Today, the island is a maze of narrow streets hemmed by tall buildings with a bustling harbour and market. I decided to work there in a school for the Art in All of Us activities. It was a long trip from Lilongwe (capital of Malawi) to get this Pearl of the Ocean. No direct transport to do the about 1000 km to the Island. It is then with patience, smile and craziness that we traveled 180 km of minibus, 60 km of pick up, 15 km of bushtaxi, 7km of bicycle, 10km by foot, 180 hitchhiking, 550 km by train, 4 km by foot, 125 km of minibus, 55 km of minibus to reach the embark to the Ilha. It was worth the nearly 3 days and nights of travel and transpiration. Kids of the visited school were really amazing and so creative ! Their drawings and poetries will be uploaded soon on our website. In the meanwhile you can see recent uploaded Jordan gallery http://www.artinallofus.org/photos.htm This picture was taken early morning in front of the green Mosque. It was prayer time. A magic moment we spent before school starts ! No photoshop on this picture. Straight from my Nikon D200!

Hello bubble friends, Long time I didn’t upload a real portrait…. I took this time a couple of days ago in Eritrea in the school where we were organizing our art activities. / Some people call them the “ninjas”. Some people throw them stones while they are dressed like that… some people do throw them stones or spit on them when they uncover their faces…. In what world do we leave ? / Just leave the woman alone ! Leave the children alone ! Set them free…. Give them a voice !!! it is what Art in All of Us (www.artinallofus.org) modestly try to do !

A reflection of a group of Muslim pilgrims at the Taj Mahal in India. I’ve showed this photo to people who have also visited the Taj Mahal and their reaction is always along the lines of “nice photo, where is it?”. For me, that’s enough as I just wanted to capture something different from such a famous icon.

The word “Da’wah” in Arabic simply means to invite (call) to something. When it is used in conjunction with Islam it is understood to mean “Inviting to the Way of submission and surrender to God.” Dawah is an obligation for all Muslims. “Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.“ (Qur’an 16:125 – YUSUFALI) “Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who go aright.” (Qur’an 16:125 – PICKTHAL) “Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and have disputations with them in the best manner; surely your Lord best knows those who go astray from His path, and He knows best those who follow the right way.” (Qur’an 16:125 – SHAKIR) According to modern Islamic theology, the Qur’an is a revelation very specifically in Arabic, and so it should only be recited in the Arabic language. Translations into other languages are necessarily the work of humans and so, according to Muslims, no longer possess the uniquely sacred character of the Arabic original. Since these translations necessarily subtly change the meaning, they are often called “interpretations.” For instance, Pickthall called his translation The Meaning of the Glorious Koran rather than simply The Koran.

I dont really see a lot of vector based Islamic Art so i thought i’d do some myself! This is the kind of thing i would have liked to have seen in my college and uni days. Would have made a good poster for when i was livin in the halls of residense! Expect to see a lot more of this style! First time ive used nothing but Illustrator. I learnt a lot about Illustrator doing this and loved it!! Reads: “Bismillah ir rahman ir rahim” / Translation: “In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind.”

This photo was taken in 2007 while traveling in Northern Pakistan. It is next to impossible to take photos of women in Pakistan and i feel this photo is an excellent portrayal of that situation. This shot is not staged. I was was simply sitting on a chair admiring the view of the lake when this lady walked in front of me to admire the view of the lake also and i Immediately saw a nice shot and wa-la!
