An Update and Hello
Hello friends old and new, please drop a quick comment so I know your still alive and what you've been up to!
So My Book is finally complete, I submitted all the content to a UK based publisher by the name of Gilgamesh Publishing and the Launch date is set for next May!
The book is going to be a large 250 page full colour journey through Ten thousand years of history via Text, graphics and most importantly Photography.
I'm now finally free to spend time both here and on the little Facebook page that I set-up (and ignored) last year.
A Map and a Lens
Hello Friends and Visitors.
Over the last year I have been working on a major personal project; To photograph and research all of Jordan's Archaeological and Religious Locations.
The intention is to create a well rounded body of work, for use with a Photo exhibition and Coffee table book.
At the end of 2013 I had visited and documented over 160 locations around the kingdom, and exhibited 69 of the locations in a gallery in Amman.
Now after all that time I'm ready to share my work with you, starting today I will be sharing everything I photographed and researched, DA will get the best of the best shots while the Facebook group will be gett
What I've been up to
Since my subscription finishes today, and I don't intend to renew it any time soon, I think Ill post a new journal and tell you what I've been up to over the last few months
On the 25th of january 2013 I decided to start a new project to pass the crappy winter months. as you all know (and some dont) I live in Jordan and currently the options for regional travel is severely limited, So I decided to re-shoot Jordan's entire cultural and religious heritage. of course I wasn't alone, a close friend decided to participate and encourage the project!
I started researching with one very well written guide book(but old) and quickly expanded to 6 boo

15. What do you value most about a friendship?
I think the most value in a relationship comes from honesty, but also in trust. I'm not the kind of person who has lots of friends; I pick who I trust carefully, and those people must be able to accept me and my personality without question, and without wanting to change who I am and what I do. I have many quirks and kinks, and many more flaws, but I am old enough now that I know I don't want to change. I want my real friends to value who I am for just that, and take from me whatever wisdom, experience and happiness they can - in return I offer them loyalty, trust and honour. I will always be there for a good, trusted friend, in whatever way I can.
16. Most Treasured Memory?
I'm going to be corny here and say that every memory is treasured, even the bad ones. Without them, I would not learn or evolve and my life would not progress. Everyday I am stunned by new experiences, and often think to myself 'I never thought I would see that for myself'. I think having a child-like awe of the world is one way of truly appreciating your life.
17. Worst Memory?
There has been a lot of abuse in my life, physical and mental, and those scars still have not healed. I won't go into any particular memory, but I have many that people would consider terrifying; perhaps they are not appropriate here.
18. If I know I'm gonna die, what might I do differently?
In all honesty? Nothing. My life has become the way it is because of the things that have happened to me. Why would I want to change anything, or regret anything? Many bad things have happened to me, but many good things have come from them. I still have issues from the past, but they make me strong, and the memories and lessons from my experiences hold value in every aspect of my life. Without adversity, I would be weak and naive. If the world were to end tomorrow, or I would die for whatever reason, my only regret would be to not live longer that that I may experience even more.
