“Picture of an Arab Man”
Started in 2009, the portrait series “Picture an Arab Man” is part of a large body of work capturing semi-nude Arab men of diverse backgrounds. The project is meant to literally picture a new face for Arab males than the one we are so accustomed to perusing in the mainstream media. Breaking down stereotypes as to how Arabs have been represented in the West, as well as in the East, is one of the conceptual aims of this project. I attempt to do so by highlighting the sensual beauty of the Arab man, an unexplored aspect of their identity on the cusp of change in a society that reveres an out-dated form of hyper-masculinity. Moreover, it is an attempt to uncover and break the stereotypes imposed on the Arab male in a post 9/11 world, and provide an alternative visual representation of that identity.
Thus far, I have photographed men in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Dubai, Palestine and Canada. They have been Iraqi, Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Egyptian, Sudanese, Emirati, Jordanian, and of mixed heritage. My plan is now to photograph men from the remaining countries of the Middle East to truly represent the diversity of the Arab region. Receiving funding to complete the production of the project will also get me one step closer to my ultimate goal, which is to publish this project as a book. The funds that I am requesting will go toward covering my transportation and accommodation, and for printing of prototypes of the book.
Through “Picture an Arab Man”, I strive to do what I can to redefine the image of the Arab man for an audience so accustomed to one-dimensional stereotypes. Most importantly, I hope to properly represent my subjects as diverse and candid men whose only thing in common is their rich Middle Eastern heritage.
Thank you for your support.

Rafflesia Arnoldii
Rafflesia arnoldii is the world’s largest flower having a diameter of about one meter and weighing up to ten kilograms. It is a rare flower and not easily located. It grows only once a year and blooms for around five days. According to researches in discovery news, this flower that looks and smells like rotting flesh is related to flimsy flowers like violets, poinsettias and passionflowers. Hence it also called as “meat flower” or “corpse flower”. The flower is pollinated by flies and carrion beetles attracted by its vile smell. It contains about 27 species and found in Indonesian rain forests of southeastern Asia and Philippines. Rafflesia is an official state flower of Indonesia, Surat Thani Province in Thailand and Sabah state in Malaysia.
Okay, no, this literally sounds like something out of science fiction.
It smells like death and is pollinated by flies?
And, not to mention the part where it LOOKS LIKE ITS GOING TO FUCKING EAT THOSE KIDS
HOLY CRAP

I’m watching Midnight in Paris and I. Can’t. Handle. Tom. Hiddleston.
I don’t know why but every time he shows up on screen, I squeal. I. Literally. Squeal. And I mean. LITERALLY.

Shit Men Say to Men Who Say Shit to Women on the Street
Can we get more of this, men?
Courtesy of Anti Harassment and Meet Us On The Street.
My favorite is the whole group of dudes that collectively groan. -TSI
You go dudes. Let’s get more of this.
Word.
Kinda speechless.
I’d like to hug every one of these men. While living in Chicago when i was younger I had seen guys actually masturbating in their car while shouting at me and other women…. and the usual guys that make kiss-kiss sounds or comments. I had one guy crouching on the sidewalk stare directly and openly at my crotch while i dismounted my bicycle to lock it up. When i called him out he merely said ” i saw what i wanted to see”. No shame at all, he loved seeing me uncomfortable. It feels fucking horrible and suddenly… you feel really unsafe! Flipping the finger or shouting back at these men relieved my anger a little but the sense of having my safety compromised by people bigger and stronger than me doesn’t go away too easily. I just wish when i had this shit happen guys like this were around to back me up a little. I just remember other dudes would just laugh at my anger instead of speaking up.
Props, fellas!
Great job, guys!
Flawless.
