I hope you can understand me... waiting reply Bashar Wed, 30 May 2007 14:42:00 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/assistant_or_fixer_or_translator_for_pro_phtographers_in_lebanon#74355 Yes, I understand you. I guess when I wrote "how much" I meant payment. It doesn't have to be money though. It can be a meal, a place to sleep, even an adventure. It looks like what you want is a lesson in photography, and you are in the right place. I, like many others here happened to have been born on the rich side of the world. There is always a camera in the house, and we'd take pictures of birthday parties before we knew what a "lens" is. Never had I experienced what you have. Nor do I have the power to even imagine what it would be like to live where you live. I wish I could send you a camera, all the memory cards you will ever need. I wish I can help. BASHAR, Photography is merely a tool. Like words, anyone with a voice, can speak, anyone with a camera and a finger, can take a picture. Like words, just because you are shouting, it doesn't mean people can hear (understand) you. Just because you are taking pictures, it doesn't mean people can see, what you are seeing. Feel the way you feel. With practice, and some thoughts, What are you taking pictures of? and who do you want to show these pictures to? and you might get closer to what you are looking for. It's ironic (crazy), but what your dad said is true. We fly people to your country to take a shot, to tell your stories, for you. Instead of ever giving you a chance to do it yourselves. Hope you can forgive us.

Thanks very much about you offer about the camera, but to tell you the truth, i can buy one right now, but then, I will stop, direction? unknown. you understand what I mean I will keep looking for someone here maybe he or she, can help. Its enought for me that someone replies quickly on my letter. thats better from everything. that makes me feel, I'm Human...
