These are two photos I took during my last trip to Athens, Greece. It was a business conference. It was quite hectic I had no chance to go outside and shoot.
While digging deep in my “photo archive”, which is the horrible mess of files spread on more than three external hard drives, I came across the below photos of Old Aleppo. I still remember the day I took the photos as if it was yesterday. And in one the photos, the one showing the traditional Friday breakfast “Fool” or Fava Beans, I can still state the sourness of the lemon juice and the salt with the onion slices every time I look at the photos.
I took this photo after the raining storm settled down and things got back to normal. BTW, the streets were flooded and some people perished because of the torrential rain.
When I first read the phrase “make under” I had a hard time understanding it. You feel the same? Well, simply put, “make under” is the opposite of “make over”; and what’s a better tool than Adobe Photoshop to do some retouching and “make up” to the photo of celebrities to charm people while on TV, the internet or in magazines. Now touching has become a big business and more touching means more glamour and shine. Well, up to a point after which the people, celebrities in this case, look like they’re from another planet.
Dubai Mall, which is taken as the world’s largest shopping mall based on total area. Wikipedia states that “over 12 million sq ft (equivalent in size to more than 50 football pitches), the Dubai Mall has a total internal floor area of 5.9 million square feet (55 ha) and leasable space of 3.77 million square feet (35 ha). It also has a 250-room luxury hotel, 22 cinema screens plus 120 restaurants and cafes. The Mall has over 14,000 parking spaces across 3 car parks, with valet services and a car locator ticketing system.”
