Today, one year has passed since my first photography submission with my DSLR, now I claim that I can-accidentally- produce something of value to someone every now and then.

Thanks to all your support, kinds words, and critique, It has been a tremendous pleasure to get to know some of the community here on DA, and of course to enjoy the sensational work submitted here everyday.

I can say I'm somehow satisfied with how I'm going about my photography, meaning that I shoot what I desire not what's imposed on me, not by someone but by a public agreement that wasn't really agreed upon but nonetheless had taken place[architecture, landscapes, flowers], that doesn't mean I won't be shooting those subjects but rather that I have many other chances that I can indulge myself in without getting that feeling of helplessness to be directed into certain areas of photography so that's a good first lesson I think I've learned over the past year. Of course there's a lot and a lot to explore ahead and a huge room for experimentation that I haven't even got a mile near to it.

I became 22 years old 4 days ago, I like how this syncs with that.

Also I'd like to thank the Academy, oh scarp that, seriously though I'd like to thank my brother Sherif for helping out with the acquaintance of my first DSLR, you're the best , now to the next target, some full frame goodness please and throw in a 85mm lens, not necessarily the F/1.4, the F/1.8 will do for now.

Onwards and upwards my friends.
