Penetrating Stares


After her mother ushered us into the house, we sat beside her grandmother who told us of her suffering and heartache. The pictures on the wall were of family members that had passed on and the cold cement floor reminded me that some lives are never easy.

If Walls Could Speak


While walking through a town on the outskirts of Irbid it was apparent that the walls have a unique story to tell. Even in my own town, Al-Ashrafia, the walls have scars, layers of chipping paint and graffiti. These walls give an outsider a small glimpse of the history of these streets and the lives of the people behind them.

Hiding a Grin Never Seemed so Difficult


Shortly after beginning to take pictures in Irbid, this bashful little boy kept peering around a corner like his little sister. As we were leaving the house, we found him sitting in front of his house with a sucker trying to hide his grin. He was shy, but it was obvious that he was overjoyed that we were taking pictures of him.
