Seriously!! Relax and Palestine in one sentence??

so, it's sunday afternoon in paris, one eye and his friend are coming back home after a long day outdoors, and in the metro station we see a huge poster advertising an exhibition at the institut du monde arabe about palestinian art.

my friend insisted to go there because she wanted to relax after this long day. she saw a fainted smile on my face and asked the reason of this smile. I tried to explain to her that the words relax and Palestine don't fit in one sentence. She laughed, and mocked my ignorance: how can art be but relaxing?

so, here we are. changing the metro line and heading to the institut du monde arabe.

after 1 hour moving between the exhibits, my friend went out with tears in her eyes and said she wants to watch a funny DVD.

don't question one eye's wisdom.

from the streets

reading Ms. Tee's recent post, made me go back to some of the shots I took from the streets:

Dubbya in Seville:

and surprise, surprise, Bashar in Paris:

Seriously, this is Paris. Not Damascus, Aleppo, or Deir El Zour. Not even Beirut in 2004.

just walk in the streets, with an open eye, and hope that no one will ask you for your papers when he sees a camera in your hand.
