Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life . . .
The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization . . .
If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for the Creator, there is no poverty . . . 
Even when I lost You, I still kept You secretly . . . 
“Photography has been a tool to discover stories from people and share it to the world. It is a job with humanity and responsibility.” – Abir Abdullah / EPA Photojournalist
