"Document your Day" Project

It has been more than.. what, a month? Since I posted anything here. I've been very busy this last month. And during this time, I've had what a dear friend of mine calls, a "photo block"!

I can't work under pressure, I can't write, I can't think, I can't do anything. But.. I've discovered recently that photography and I do very well under pressure!! Which is weird, considering what I've stated earlier.

So.. to fix this photo block of mine, I've decided to do a very intense photography project, which is basically, taking a photograph every hour, for a day. My day started at 6am, and ended at 10pm.

So without further delay.. here are the 15 photos taken on a typical (lazy) day :)

This is a long exposure shot. I actually drew this with my hand, using a small torch.


*I apologize if the signature on the photos was a bit annoying, but there are weirdos out there who might steal the photos and claim them as their own.
Which reminds me, please don't copy any of the photos without my permission!

Assalaam Alaikum Mariam,

You have an absolutely beautiful blog and take breathtaking pictures. Thanks for following me. I'm glad I came across your blog. =)

I see you love photography from your current and older posts. I love photography myself, although I really don't do it as much as I would like to. Insha'Allah, planning to start up again!

Thank you everyone!!! I've been away for a while.. but hopefully I'll resume my "blogging" activities soon :)

@جيسي فهد and letters from a stranger, I use a Canon 50D camera, but I've learned through my experience that the photographer is the one who makes the photo, not the camera!!

@Fatty.. its so good to have you back!! (as if I wasn't absent my self! :P lol)

@Sarah, wa alykom alsalam! Thank you so much!! Can't wait for your new photos!!

Farhah!! :D said...

Salaams :) Can I please use the pic Surah Yusuf as a profile picture on my fb?

Mariam said...

Sure.. as long as you link back to the source (which is this blog.. of course :D)
