FLICKR in Arabic [فلكر]

FLICKR in Arabic [فلكر]
Originally uploaded by radiant guy.

Recently I've been working on the Arabic edition of flickr in wikipedia.org

When I saw a great flickr design by my friend Ali with great patterns in Pink and Blue. I had no idea how to create similar patterns but I was trying to manipulate the word flickr in Photoshop and I ended up with those patterns. I know it SUCKS but that UGLY thing above is my first attempt, so be gentle on me :">

PEACE & LOVE

Photo was taken by my friend in a restaurant, I thought it's a funny pose. So I asked him to photograph me and the waiter saw us and laughed LOL

Still waiting for my digital camera to be fixed; until then I'll be using my camera phone :(

I miss you

One of my very favorite songs released in 2003, It's a sad song with great lyrics. It was really hard to translate it, I guess the first paragraph was translated well but the 2nd and 3rd are meaningless in English!
The song reminds me of the beginning of the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, the whole album reminds me of that year.
The album was one of my favorite albums of the year 2003.

Song name: Betoohashni (I miss you)
Singer: Sherine (Shereen | Arabic script: شرين)
Lyrics by: Nasr Mahroosnt>
Composed by: Riyadh Al Hamsharint>
Album: Jarh Thani (Second wound) 2003
Translated by: Bashar (Me)

I miss you even while I am sitting beside you!
I miss you; I even miss every single day I am spending with you!
And every second with out being with you is killing me!
And every single night I am living with out being with you makes my happy, scared and wounded.
I am afraid that even when I die I will still be missing you!

You are promising that there is no tomorrow, no day after tomorrow and I will not spend a single moment with out being with you; then you became late and I miss you more and I can do nothing about it because I don't have anybody to miss except you.

You are plaining many things and telling me many more promises but eventually I find my self with out you; then you give my some more hope but I always end up living the torture of your absence!

I AM NOT A REAL PHOTOGRAPHER so GIVE ME A BREAK!

I had tons of messages, comments and PMs from people telling me (Well...You are not a photographer because you post process your photos digitally).

I've never considered my self a professional, semi or a beginner photographer. I even wrote that in my profile .
I call my self a PHOTOGRAFIXIST!
Yeah Yeah I know another new word created by me.

PHOTOGRAFIXIST = Photography + Graphics + Fixing + "IST"

Note# 1. I still have the butterfly emotions whenever I wear that uniform :(
Note# 2. Taken with my cameraphone because I am still waiting for my camera to be fixed :( again and again :(

I have similar photo taken and manipulated by me of a friend and looks way better than this one; I guess because I spent more time post processing it :D

I guess I am becoming a super star, move over Britney because Radiant Guy is taking over LOL

If I was a singer, I'll use that as my CD cover

Don't worry my voice really sucks, a flying cat could cough and make a prettier voice than mine LOL

Everybody saw us (me and my friends) in Bahrain they instantly knew that we are from Kuwait even If we didn't said a word, I really had no idea why I mean Kuwaitis does not have green skin color LOL
I am in love with my shoe :">

Photo of me modeling taken by a friend using my camera phone, Bahrain 1st of Nov. 2006 (day one).

Still did not believe that winter already started in Kuwait :D
Woohoooo :S
It's still hot here but last week it's started to rain, I thought someone was spitting on my car LOL
It's getting cooler now, on my way to work the temperature reached 20s around 9 A.M.!
That is weird in Kuwait :\

P.S. My camera still broken, that's why I am using my camera phone :(
the photo looks great considering it was taken using a camera phone, isn't it?

Friendship never last forever, IT'S TRUE!

I just don't know what went wrong, it's might be me or he just found a "better" friends group?
We've been best friends for more than 14 years but not anymore, he even changed his number so I don't call him (I wouldn't call him anyway even If I had his number but he is thinking that he is the Queen Elizabeth II and I would be running after him)!

I know I DID NOTHING WRONG but I have no idea what's wrong with him, I wanted to know what went wrong exactly but not anymore since he did forget all those years of our friendship.

I used to think about him for awhile but now I belly dance on Latifa's song "Khalleek Ba'eed" (Translation: Keep Away).

If you think walking a way will make you feel better, OK then you can keep away..
If that would make you more comfortable, I will be happy for you..
But don't return few days later asking for my forgiveness, and to reconciled again!

It's typical of you to forget all about our great days together whenever we have a little problem, I swear if I walked away you will feel lonely even If you had a thousand friends around you
My dear why you are treating me this way?

Don't be patient, return and ask for my forgiveness, and to reconciled again!

P.S. I don't really love Queen Elizabeth II; I am just trying to make a point, I hope she won't sue me for using her name LOL

Happy Eid

`Eid al-Fitr is the day of celebration that marks the end of Ramadhan . Muslims visit family members, enjoy special meals together and wear new clothes. Children receive gifts of money from their relatives. Amusement rides for children are set up in the streets, and people watch fireworks at night.

The celebration lasts for three days (sometimes four), but if it falls in the middle of the week, shops and schools may stay closed for the entire week.

Photo was taken during a clear night with two different exposures, I post processed both of them to create the fog or mist in the top.

I am BACK but...

The very last photos before drooping my camera :S
They told me it's will be fixed but I have to wait until December when they get spare parts from Japan!
I won't be able to take any new photos, so I'll upload old ones or maybe camera phone shots :\
