About I am back :) It is really good to be back, after being away for more than 2 months, my GOD .. I knew photography is my favorite hobby, I didn't know it was a passion like this ...

The main reason I was away is, I thought of Camera upgrade, I sold my old camera the Nikon8700, to budget my new camera, after two days I got laid-off :( Got back to work took me few weeks to stabilize my self .. and .... I did it ......... I got my new Camera and I've got my passion back ..
Please let me introduce you to my 20D :)
I missed you all my friends,
Sorry for not dropping by all this time, It was really hard on me after selling my camera to come and see all those wonderful pictures without being able to take part, so I decided to take sometime of, till I get my camera,
I will catch up very soon with all your wonderful work.
It is good to be back .....

I've selected this picture to be my first upload after my return.
I think kind of it is reflecting the feelings I had when I was without a job and without a Camera, the feeling of having the light inside you, but this light is casting only shadows ..

Cheers all,

WELCOME BACK!!! I was wondering what happened!

Its a very nice photograph! I like the colors and texture and it is hard to photograph a cande and get good levels on all parts of it. very nice!

So, do you love your EOS 20D? I am using my new Canon PS70 for digital and I use it so much, I rarely take out my film camera anymore :-(


Enas Moussa   {K:7470} 5/29/2005

Sammmmmmmmmm :)
Yes buddy i am back, and in love with the 20D :) It took me a hellva time to collect its price, half the price with love from my wife as a birthday gift :)
Of course there is no Film any more :) and very soon the film wil be old history, this is the nature of things ...

Btw what is the PS70? I've made a search and all what i came out with is PS70-2CD PAP SHREDDER :) I am sure it is not what you are talking about .. lol
Thanks for your kind warm welcome my friend,
Regards,

A wonderfully moody portrait and congrats on the 20D! I am very happy with my D70 as I too had the 8700! I wish you many happy images! Layoffs suck!

Welcome back dear Ameed! :) I'm glad that everything was sorted out. This is such a beautiful and expressive return image!


Dave Stacey   {K:117108} 5/31/2005
Congratulations on the new camera, Ameed, what a wonderful choice!
I like this shot of yours, you could also look at it as the light of your passion shining in a temporary darkness, until you became active again!
The little river of wax flowing down the side really adds a lot of interest to the photo.
Thanks for your comments, too!
Dave.
