How I had started …
I remember the days that I went to school, I did not study so much but in any case, I had passed my courses. I prefer to see the pictures and diagrams instead of studying text. I just read the text written at the bottom of pictures. When I traveled by my family I looked at the clouds, which continually had been changing according to the music that sometimes played in our car. Therefore, I preferred to do that instead of gazing at the new cars, new fashions and any other attractive cover of the peoples' life. When I was about 15 years old I took the first photo by my father's camera; Canon AV-1.
Camera was a device for me to be lonely and to discover my solitude in nature. Nature the mother of all things is a real friend, real challenge; I mean she has only one face. On the other hand, too many people with too many faces around me have forced me to get my Camera bag with all its accessories and escape from town with all its ugly features…
Nowadays I do so, with more motivations and more horizons to discover to change some perspective of my society people. I think some people love money and want to find all beauties in it and to order whatever they wish.
As Margot Bigel says, "whatever is deserved to be admired not ought to being plunder", I think it is better to admire a pretty woman than to grasp her or gaze at her. I hope some day most of the instruction books illustrated by photos not by text. As road signs direct us how to drive without any conversation and all people around the world can understand this international language. If we cannot shake some people by pictures, we never are able to develop people views and attitudes by text.
