Fri, 3 Sep 2010 | By pauluiza | Views [2709]

Syria-sly? Are you Syrias?? Yeah, after 65 days in Greece and 32 days in Turkey, we are off to Syria. We leave Adana (southeastern Turkey) after 3 days of R & R as Paul needed to recover from a really bad flu.   When we were in Istanbul ... Read more >

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 | By jadecantwell | Photo Gallery | Scholarship Entry

Syria overwhelmed me with it's breathtaking landscape and unbounded kindness. People living in such barren and harsh landscapes moved me with their warmth and generosity; none more so than the bedouins who hosted us in their camp. We made our way to ... Read more >

Narguilah on the banks of the Euphrates

Fri, 16 Apr 2010 | By haveblood | Views [678]

As i tow sunset with me into Mesopotamia, it tries to hide behind a patchwork of dust masking the horizon.  I help it in this masquerade with a cloud of sweet narguilah smoke. A city hums across the river somewhere.  A city in modern guise, its own masquerade, ... Read more >

A Close Shave
