I should really go to bed because I have to wake up at 7 tomorrow for my internship...
but my aesthetic history of photography final and doing laundry is forcing me to stay awake. :(.
tomorrow night I'll probably just pass out.


I'm constantly awestruck at what a different place and person I am in every aspect of my life than where I was last year.


from my BELIEVERS project:

Fariah and Aqsa:


what I look like a lot these days:


my friend Dee (who I've talked about a lot) and I in NOLA:

"The word "shams" (sun) is feminine, and "qamar" (moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself out to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light. Within itself it has no light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our women."
- Shaykh Abdullah Adhami
