Determination


This man works in his shop as a mechanic and works on small and larger machines. It is apparent that he has seen many years of hardship and yet, he provided me with a feeling of determination and resolve.

Curiosity


While getting a tour of a neighborhood, these little boys chased after me to watch who and what I would take a picture of. The boys waited patiently on the bench in the men's barber as I took pictures of a little boy getting a haircut.

This bread bakery is typical of many that I have seen in Jordan. Within this single picture, one can visualize the entire bread baking process.

Beating the Odds


This little boy and girl were running through the street with a cardboard box, making a game of their own. It is amazing how children can create some of the most peculiar games. Such imagination is needed to play the game.

Al-Ashrafia Boys


Not far from my grandmother's home, these little boys congregate in the street to fly kites or play soccer. It is quite apparent that kite flying is serious business.
