A special thanks goes out to my man Laith Majali, for all the time, advice and inspiration, for introducing me to Leicas , the work of Capa, Chris Weeks, Cartier-Bresson , Mochilla and countless others, and of course for editing my work.

To my brother Naim and my sister Elham or all the encouragement and pushing me with their amazing work.

I am also very grateful to the Leica London store staff for giving me the opportunity to be one of the first 300 people to own the brand new Leica X1, this blog entry is not only meant to highlight my work , but also give readers a sneak preview of what exactly this beautiful machine is capable of.

I picked up photography around 4 months ago in and as I was preparing this blog entry, I realized that I picked up photography around the same time the economic crisis began to manifest its implications on a global scale, now I dont know if this is an attempt by an amateur photographer to give some significance to his work , or if what I captured on camera during that time is related to the crisis, what I do know however, is that these are the moments that decided to unfold during those 4 months.
