So this was an early morning walk in Manama Souq in the area which has the famous Bab AlBahrain, in this walk I used my 24mm lens on my 5DIII which was the first time to shoot streets using this lens and it was also the last time, in short I didn’t like that range, it can’t compete to the 35mm focal range. Anyway enough with the technical stuff and here are some of the scenes I managed to capture during that morning including a bonus at the end. Enjoy!

Dammam Central Market 2 – Street photography
Another walk in Dammam Central Market, you can visit these kind of places over & over again and you will always find new scene for street photography, thats the beauty of it. Anyway I posted before some photos from this area (Click here to view it). I hope you like it!
جولة اخرى في سوق الدمام المركزي، تستطيع زيارة مثل هذه الأماكن أكثر من مرة وستجد دائماً مشاهد جديدة لحياة الشارع، وهذا ما يجعله جميلاً. على كل حال وضعت سابقاً بعض الصور من هذا المكان (اضغط هنا لرؤيتها). أتمنى أن تنال إعجابكم!

AlBatha Area in Riyadh – Street photography
It was a quiet morning and a quick visit to this central area in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Recently I’ve started to focus on one thing only when I go in a photowalk, either capture candid street photographs or get closer and take stories from the people. Anyway this is only a short collection but I hope you enjoy it.
كان صباحاً هادئاً وجولة سريعة لوسط مدينة الرياض. مؤخراً قمت بالتركيز على شيئاً واحداً حينما أقوم بأي جولة تصوير، سواء تصوير حياة الشارع أو تسجيل القصص وتصوير حياة الناس. على كل حال هذه فقط مجموعة صغيرة وأتمنى أن تعجبكم.

Table football – Jeddah
Walking around the historical area in Jeddah AlBalad which is the old side of Jeddah city in Saudi Arabia, the kids there always get my attention and some play with table games like table tennis and in this case Table Football which is a miniature of the famous football but in a table and it can be player either 1v1 or 2v2. Khaled & Mohammed are playing against each other in a game they both love and really good at it

Elder’s details 3 – People’s life
An old man I came across in Jubail village in AlHasa, Saudi Arabia. This is someone I met before in my blog post Day 27 – AlHasa for my street life project & this time I saw him near his house in a different cloth, good thing is that he recognized me after speaking to him because our last meet was 2 years ago, I took the chance to take a few photos in a different way then before.
رجل مسن صادفته في قرية الجبيل بالأحساء، بعد ما تمعنته به جيداً تذكرت إنني إلتقيت به سابقاً في احدى جولاتي ونشرت له صورة في تدوينة اليوم ٢٧ من مشروع حياة الشارع في السعودية وهذه المرة كان قريباً من منزله بلبسه المعتاد المريح والذي يسمى (وزار) الأمر الجيد أنه تذكرني حيث كان لقائي به قبل سنتين تقريباً وإلتقطت له عدة صورة بشكل مختلف قليلاً عن السابق.

Iran Streets Part 4 – Street photography
Hello all, so about 2 years ago I traveled with my family to Mashhad city in Iran for a week, it wasn’t a photography trip but I did spent a lot of times photographing the streets & I was really impressed with the results I got from there. I didn’t open this folder until a few weeks ago & wanted to share with you some of the results of those scenes I’ve captured, I already posted a blog about my trip there when I got back 7 Days to Mashhad. I did a lot of street photography but rarely I did people’s life because a lot & I mean a lot don’t understand English or Arabic. So here are some of the results & more photos will come in other posts!

Muharraq Central 2 – street photography
Yet another street walk in Bahrain and again in Muharraq ( You can visit the first one here ) it was really quick because of the short time we had before sunset and I’ve used my canon with a 50mm lens instead of my fujifilm this time, The photos are less but I hope you enjoy it!
مرة اخرى جولة في البحرين وأيضاً في شوارع المحرق ( تستطيع زيارة التدوينة الأولى من المحرق هنا ) كانت زيارة سريعة جداً بسبب ضيق الوقت قبل غروب الشمس وقمت باستخدام كاميرا الكانون مع عدسة ٥٠مم بدلاً من كاميرا الفوجي، الصور قليلة ولكن أتمنى أن تروق لكم!
– All photos taken in June 2015
