A few more snapshots…

My first week of classes went well, and I managed to snap a few more pics of the campus. Everywhere I go in Toronto I am amazed by the architecture, especially the contrast between modern and traditional. Even the campus, which has a very old feel to it, has random buildings that are all glass and metal alongside traditional European architecture. I’m also including more pics of our new apartment and the meals I’ve been cooking for breakfast and dinner everyday! More to come soon…

My first days in Toronto

So here begins a new adventure for us. I was recently admitted to the University of Toronto for doctoral studies in Sociology in Education. I just moved up here last Thursday and will begin classes tomorrow (Monday). Armida is on her way up in about 46 days, and we are excited to continue our photography while we are here. Below is a taste of what I’ve experienced during my first days in the beautiful Toronto, ON. Bear in mind the majority were done with my mobile

Another Thursday as usual at Arriba Juntos in the Mission District in San Francisco. Every week, the SF Food Bank distributes food at Arriba Juntos to the community. Last Thursday, Oct. 23rd, we were joined by various celebrities who were in town for the One X One Gala dinner to benefit various charities.

Some of the celebrities pictured below include Matt Damon, Wyclef Jean, and David Arquette.

Recent photo shoot

Youssef — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 18:43:56 +0000

I’m no food critic, but this spot has some awesome lighting… Immediately from the entrance, there is unique ambiance that many SF restaurants attempt to capture, but Fattoush Restaurant really does it right.

I had a fun time during this photo shoot, which was originally just for an Ad, but I think I got carried away because of how many beautiful photo opportunities the restaurant provided. Check out the rest of the gallery here.

Upcoming Photography

Youssef — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:09:53 +0000

We’re currently in the middle of shooting for the Arab Film Festival in the SF Bay Area, which had their opening ceremony last night. Stay tuned for pictures from last night’s reception and awards ceremony here from myself, Armida, itakeurpic, Dwayne, and other photographers at the event. The festival runs through Oct. 28th, so you can expect to see photo updates here of panel discussions, concerts, etc. during the next few weeks.

The opening ceremony was amazing, and tonight’s showing of Paloma Delight has been hailed as a must see. For those of you in the Bay Area, definitely check it out.
