        Arabic horses, Arabic camels, desert and tents are the code of Arabic culture. This picture gives you the life of our past and how our predecessors used to live in the middle of the desert fighting the scarcity of water and basic fundamentals of life like houses, electricity, education...Etc.  They used to walk for long distances to get the water from wells, and rarely did they find it. When we look at their live we learn too much from them, we learn from their personalities, ethics, stories, patience, and we merge their way with civilization. The Arabic people put their quests, friends, and neighbors in special position and they don’t refuse their orders as possible. When someone has a guest in his house he at first blend him a coffee with a hand blender that make loud sound which invite the other neighbors to come and join his gathering . After that he slaughters a sheep or more to feed them. And spend as much effort as he can to make them happy. This picture is in present time, and that tells us how the new generations are cling with the culture of their predecessors. These day, us population is rocketing, and life became different with many technologies surrounding us. Arabic people merge the old way with the new one, they cope with every new technology and changes, but they still carry the past in their hearts.

Comments about Patrick’s photos: 

I think he did a great job. Despite the fact that his camera betrayed him at the beginning, but he could produce a good collection in a short time including the questions and answers of people he took pictures of.  In his first picture, I think that it would be better is his dimed the background a little bit so we can see the person more clearer than he looks. I don’t mean by that, that the background wasn’t important, but it has lots of light that make it very bright and making the guy face appear brighter in the right side more than the lift side.  He also didn’t crop the guy hand in the picture neither he made it completely appear.  His second and fourth pictures were his best pictures, and it would be better if he reduced focusing in the background especially for the second picture. The third picture has an issue of cropping the guy hair and the window in the background is not important to appear in this picture.  He made the guy ‘s face in the top of the picture and made the rest of his body appear more than his face. The fifth picture had to be dimmed a little bit, we can see lots of light on the girl’s body and her t-shirt, and the reflection of the window is making some noise too. In general, all of his work was great but he has some issues of fixing the levels of colors of some pictures and in cropping some of them or if it wasn’t in cropping them it would be in framing them.
