Finally, I had a chance to slow down at my mom's home and take some photos and successfully stole the wi-fi connection from my neighbor.

 

I am becoming not very comfortable living around columns and columns of buildings around me after so many years living in the States . I can hardly see the sky unless I look up directly above my head. And the most difficult thing to tolerate is the humidity. My sweat from heat stuck on the surface of my skin every time I went outdoor. Very different from SA.

 

My goodness! I forgot to teach you guys this specific skill in my news photo class - to be able to take photos with 2 cameras and carrying a dog on your shoulder!

A super photographer - I saw this photographer on a beach shooting some boating racing activities. I believe he had a Canon 300mm, f4 and a Lumix crossover with him. At one time, I even saw him holding a can of soft drink. Amazing!

I am leaving for Taiwan for my college 30th graduation reunion tomorrow. Talk to you soon.

Hafiz Men Vs Women 2012

As Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh and Greetings everyone. Alhudulillah, I recently completed my final project for COMM 1317, News Photography 2, course. I Interviewed many brothers and sisters in Houston, TX to gather their opinion on why are there are more Hafiz (one who memorized the Quran) men vs women. Also, what should the Ummah (Muslim community) do about it. Insha Allah, I hope the video is informative and beneficial.  Salaam.
