street photography series: lucidity [part 3] . clarity of #expressions exposed in lives walking in a #life that is ever so changing daily, and within a lucid city that is far from clear of cracks. . intrigued by continuous change through the passing of 365 days, it can only be said that no matter whom was passed through the frames of the ancient pebbled #streets and corners, the toll of the city’s burdens on its inhabitance can only be seen off their #faces and reactions to questions on how they manage their lives. from fears of decaying instability in their socio-economic life, to worries of days to come, with all that they might bring from further political unrest. . yet, smiles passed overcame the frowns as the glimmer of lucid hope was ever so revealing even in the roughest words described in stories heard. hope that strength will be kept through the ageless ungendered defined gaps, and even more that places fears aside. . the holy city is by far the city of hope, and a city of people that truly make it what it is now and will make it for future generations to come. . or so I hope. . ___________________________ photography by nabil darwish, copyright 2019 all rights

#yourshotphotographer, #bw, #blackandwhite, #poverty, #jerusalem, #oldcityjerusalemresilience . sometimes even the weakest soul is stronger than the environment it lives in.. sometimes even the the harshest environment cannot seep into the cracks of a soul in life.. . #empowerment is a self preservation state, for one soul and transmitted by human instinct to another and another and others. and that is her story and reality. with three children to raise, from which two are disabled, she created her own small business to survive the reality of no stability in income, or even economic or even health privileges in a small village up the northern West Bank region. drying naturally grown herbs, packing and selling to markets. “cannot see suffering no more, or even wait for no one’s assistance, i have myself and souls to feed and care for, so why should i not stride in pride for a better life?” she expressed. . the frame of the overall #life picture didn’t stop there, as this empowerment transcended to other women that went ahead in her small village to also work through the struggles via their own self made small home businesses. . learning life is one thing, learning to live is truly what is lived for. . #photography by nabil darwish, copyright 2019 all rights reserved. location: the #WestBank. . . #portrait, #streetportrait, #lensculture, #natgeocreative,

#storytelling, #thephotosociety, #art, #arab, #poverty, #yourshotphotographer, #blackandwhite, #bwinnocence of a gaze . the cultivation of curiosity is inherited by us humans from birth. we roam endlessly trying to find answers to questions we don’t even know, and by age, such questioning evolves to levels of which one to another cannot even bare. . for moments that felt endless, the quietness of that curious stare from a child walking out the old city of #jerusalem, placed an inverse of that term curiosity, is she thinking the same or what is she gazing at? but that is it, that is the questioning which assured me by far for what she had in mind from the simplicity of the words she said was a reality far far from what we do called adults comprehend. she said: “can you see the stars in that?” . wish that i can #child I replied, but I’m sure you can. . #photography by nabil darwish, copyright 2019 all rights reserved. location: damascus gate, jerusalem. . . #portrait,

#vii, #viiphoto, #documentaryphotography, #storytelling, #thephotosociety, #art, #arab, #poverty, #yourshotphotographer#childhood #dreams . remembering the days as a child born in the old city of #jerusalem, the scents and scenes & fascinations of colours always grabbed my attention, yet as a child I have always wondered off to the questions of why there are sights of some deprived of that so called “norm” in living a descent #life! grown up and still in the same fascinations of why we still live in a society that have grown apart to let down the some that are still left out. . the stagnation of economic levels in Jerusalem have yet to be seen to take out the many living under the #poverty line (which is by far in 2019 still increasing at 76% of the east jerusalem residence) to levels that would even trigger a dream of a child to be brought to any reality! . the right of life as humans is yet to be levelled equally. the right of dream to be held is far fetched from any frame to compose. . #photography by nabil darwish, copyright 2019 all rights reserved. location: east jerusalem. . . #portrait, #streetportrait, #lensculture, #natgeocreative, #natgeotravel, #instagood,

#art, #arab, #poverty, #yourshotphotographer, #blackandwhite, #bwinto the #shadows . the pebbled #streets of #jerusalem cast upon its walkers all shades of colours and light. from economic to political instability, & a looming fear of the unknown towards what ever is to come, to restless stride harder to grasp just another day wished upon to come in #peace. that being peace of mind and peace to simply live. yet same as all shades of infinite colours, the humans of jerusalem have never grown stronger in contrasts through their will to walk no matter what is faced. . we as humans are said to adapt by instinct to what we face, and evolve towards creating a better life. yet how does one instinctively do so when the the so called “better” is unknown? . #photography by nabil darwish,

#yourshotphotographer#streetphotography series: seated . crossing #faces and street life, the seated watch passers by. in their own thoughts they live, for that day, for that moment, for the hope of a better tomorrow. seated across the small streets of the souq, each bringing a story within their frame, yet unified by that one desire to speak words told to understand their living moment, being a welcome, or just a stare, seated they gaze away the lines of each glare. . #photography by nabil darwish, copyright 2019 all rights reserved. location: souq waqif, #doha, #qatar. . . #portrait,

new #faces portraying their own #moments. walks upon the same ways and paths of one’s silent moments capturing breaths that really have not yet settled to a simple exhale. . I’ve come to absolute full stops lately, even with life rushing passed, walls hit and stands that where inevitable yet hard to infuse in a sense that makes it understandable. . and faces keep passing with their moments, and yet a moment is yet needed to a simple breath in time. . . #portrait, #streetportrait, #lensculture, #natgeocreative, #instagood, #photooftheday, #picoftheday, #people, #natgeo, #worldpressphoto, #magnumphotos, #blackandwhite, #poverty, #opensociety, #vii, #storytelling, #thephotosociety, #art, #arab, #streetphotography, #doha, #qatar, #blackandwhite, #bwFaced - Everyday #Life . “the sides of images, what is seen, what is looked at, and what is simply just looked through. . it is either we see to understand, or we look through to bypass what is being truly seen no matter what is being faced in any frame”. _______________________________ . a privilege to have had my photography work featured to cover a report of great essence and value by the prestigious London School of Economics – Middle East Centre – LSE (@lse.middleeast), & at the same time, the superb chance to collaborate over the short film with the internationally renowned composer & musician ghiya rushidat (@ghiyarushidat_) through her #music from the track taym. .
