Its pitch dark on the balcony of our cinematographer Ray Peshke's house. We are over the clouds,the  sea  and mountains surround the house. Amin holds the flash light, i lift the leica to my eye, thwaap...the moment captured. This was the last roll of film i shot with the camera before having to send it to leica in NJ for maintenance and repair. I hope the wait isn't too long. I  had seen these pictures earlier that day. Shot with a Leica M6, 35mm f/2 Summicron, Kodak Tri-x

I recently bought a Holga camera for fun and i took it out to the street the other day. I loaded it up with some tri-x and went for a walk. Here are some images from the day. The last image was shot on Fuji Velvia.

I'm now back in L.A and the editing of the movie is going to start soon. Hopefully i'll be making some pictures while i'm around. The streets of L.A are full of moments to capture, so i'm excited. Also i'm happy that i have access to good labs and photo stores. Watch Out.

Week 3 of filming "Captain Abu Raed" starts in a couple of hours. We currently stand at the half way mark. It took me and Amin 2 years to get to this and our little dream is now slowly becoming a reality. I have shot a number of rolls while filming. I'll upload whenever i get a chance to breath. Check out the film's website  www.captainaburaed.com

Its been close to a month since i have posted anything on dA, but things have been busy in Jordan. We are in the midst of pre production for a feature film i am producing and will be editing. Check the website: www.captainaburaed.com today i had a quick and tough shoot, stressfull in a way but good results in the end. I won't be able to post anything from that shoot but i'm uploading some street shots and portraits throughout this week. hope all are well.
