And all i heard was barking...

I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.  They fight for honor at the first challenge, make love with no moral restraint, and they do not for all their marvelous instincts appear to know about death.  Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying.  ~George Bird Evans, Troubles with Bird Dogs

Swordsmanship...

Swordsmanship refers to the skills of a swordsman, a person versed in the art of the sword. The term is modern, and as such was mainly used to refer to smallsword fencing, but by extension it can also be applied to any martial art involving the use of a sword. The formation of the English word "swordsman" is parallel to the Latin word gladiator, a term for the professional fighters who fought against each other and a variety of other foes for the entertainment of spectators in the Roman Empire. The word gladiator itself comes from the Latin word gladius, meaning "sword".

Aging..

 

 

The lines in my face has a way of telling you the whole story, what i've seen, what i've been through and how i ended up. If you want to know the big lesson i've learned...time passes by. live your life and don't look back.
Just be sure you have a story to tell.

Have you seen my childhood...

Many times a picture is enough....

One street, Different life...

Sometimes it needn't be a villa with a private marina at Majorca that catches your eyes and senses and make you remove the lens cap and start wondering around with your shutter trying to capture that which stopped your eyes in the first place. Just like fancy locations do capture your soul and make you start to think where is the best spot for me to record this wonderful scene forever, basic and primitive places do have this same effect on you as well.

A glimpse of the past...

Although Cairo is a crowded chaotic city, it holds in it's heart bits and pieces from the remains of the Islamic architecture.
Islamic Cairo is a part of central Cairo noted for its historically important mosques and other Islamic monuments. It is overlooked by the Cairo Citadel.Islamic Cairo was founded in 969 AD as the royal enclosure for the Fatimid caliphs, while the actual economic and administrative capital was in nearby Fustat. Fustat was established by Arab military commander 'Amr ibn al-'As following the conquest of Egypt in 641, and took over as the capital which previously was located in Alexandria.

Pure

Childhood...What memories do you hold of that? Playing hide and seek, Chasing the neighbors cat over the fence, waiting for hours and hours for your favorite cartoon to start so that you can enjoy watching your super hero destroying his today's rival or maybe going to the park and have your friends watch how high you can reach with the swing.
What's common in all of these memories that most of us hold of our childhood is simply purity.
Enjoying life means enjoying that specific instant you are living with no worries about tomorrow and no fears from what happened yesterday. I saw all this in his smile :).
