It’s a way of experiencing life. I never thought about this picture is for while taking it. Thinking comes later. Sometimes I take a picture because I feel the intimacy of the moment : with a person, a place, a certain time of the day, or even with an idea, but later re-seeing the pictures again and again ascertains the first impression or neglects it, but in most of the cases I find out that my first impressions were right.&lt;br /&gt;Cairo is a city in which I spent my whole life to-date : 32 years; Is not that enough time to have the feeling that? I should tell about it? I have never been outside Egypt, and for so long time for me Cairo was the city, the only city, and not even that : For me it was the world.&lt;br /&gt;I call this project “Cairo Photographic diaries “ because re-looking on these pictures, I feel like reading them, and they were like a good novel or a collection of short stories, or even poems, but to be more precious : they were diaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;بالنسبة لي, فن التّصويرالفوتوغرافي ليس فقط أخذً الصّور الجيّدة . إنّه أسلوب لممارسة تجربة الحياة .&lt;br /&gt;لا أفكّركثيراً في الصّور التي التقطها أثناء تصويرها .غالباً ما يأتي التّفكير فيما بعد .&lt;br /&gt;أحيانًا آخذ صورةً لأننيّ أشعر بألفة اللّحظة مع شخص, مكان, وقت معيّن من اليوم.&lt;br /&gt;لكنّ فيما بعد أعاود مشاهدة الصّور مرارًا وتكرارًا لاتحقّق من الانطباع الأوّل أو أهمله, لكنّ في معظم الحالات أكتشف أن انطباعاتي الأولى كانت صحيحةً.&lt;br /&gt;القاهرة المدينة التي قضيت فيها حياتي بالكامل حتّى الآن : 32 سنةً,أليس ذلك بالوقت الكافي ليسيطر على شعور بأن ينبغي أن أخبر عنها ؟ أنا لم اكن أبدًا خارج مصر, و لوقت طّويل جدًّا كانت القاهرة - المدينة, المدينة الوحيدة,بل هي بالنسبة لي كانت العالم.&lt;br /&gt;أسمي تلك المجموعة من الصور باليوميات الفوتوغرافيّة لأنّ إعادة النّظر على هذه الصّور, يشعرني بقراءتهم,أو أراهم كرواية جيّدة أو مجموعة من القصص القصيرة, أوحتى قصائد. لكنّ ليكون اقرب الي حقيقتهم : كانوا يوميات&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25064696-114373485395609750?l=cairodiaries.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cairodiaries.blogspot.com/feeds/114373485395609750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25064696&amp;postID=114373485395609750' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25064696/posts/default/114373485395609750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25064696/posts/default/114373485395609750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cairodiaries.blogspot.com/2006/03/cairo-photographic-diaries-hamdy-reda.html' title=''/><author><name>Hamdy</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh6.google.com/image/hamdyreda/RVe8s1iPABI/AAAAAAAAAww/4FP9fEfe4Ks/awoHamdynet.jpg?imgmax=144'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
