Ali ,I have to admit that those kind of image that I am good at,The image was presented to the viewers as shot ,but to create the idea that I have in my mind ,I have added the pot .
Dearest Ali, I am so glad that you have got all what I have wanted to say ,as if you are reading my mind ,and you must a forty year of friendship with you entitled you to do so . Now I could say what I have wanted to say with this image with great relief ,and while here in Mosul I have to to explain even to those close one to me what the image meant ,you have picked it from your view only . When a prophet starts to beg ,it means two thing only ,no one is following him in his principles and thus the faith dies with him ,in the same time a modern man took the shape and the pose of the begging prophet as a reflection just above the prophet head ,then he got no originally no faith ,cause the prophet message wouldn't reached him,yet he was in a crisis modern type economic. It is all about the shadow man ,who got neither faith ,nor money . Now I know why I have put it under your name ,you are the only one who get it ,and it seems that I have done it for you . You are a bless in my life Ali.
First of all I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for adding this photo To Ali Al Katib Portfolio, it is indeed a great gift and honor and means a lot to me. I must admit that I reviewed this image less than one hour after you posted it last Friday, and I must admit it was a shocking image when I first saw it and it is still for many reasons. However, I didn't have the courage to comment on it or say any word for one simple reason: I was afraid to be unjust, I waited all this time to see what others would say. As you know I'm not in a position to be able to talk about technical issues, it looks so great to me and I like how you professionally edited it. The shocking aspect of this great image is the concept! Successful conceptual photography is not something easy to do, it takes a lot of planning and hard work to finally be able to convey a message or to tell a story; you dear Saad achieved all that in one click on the street with no planning whatsoever and as I know you very well I can say the title of this image came first then the click. It is indeed a great concept, the image, the title and ( About ) all together send very powerful message; I hope more pepole review it and ponder upon what is going on in this world!
