My latest experiment in mixing digital photos to create a photo narrative. Most of these pictures were taken over the weekend of the 18th and 19th of July. I turned 30 on the 16th, and my father urged me to visit the family, and celebrate my birthday in Chicago.
The first occasion was dinner at my Aunt's house. The family was entertaining a Syrian Orthodox priest from Iraq, who I had the pleasure of meeting.
The second occasion was the following day at the Shed Aquarium in Chicago. I hadn't been to the Shed in fifteen years and immediately fell in love with gazing at the bright, exotic fish. I would have liked to meditate a little longer on the life of a fish, but I was too busy taking pictures.

Wonderful photo collection you have posted. There is nothing like appreciating the art of fish and pictures of the family. Lifestyle of an ordinary person. Is there a change in feeling now that you are thirty? Sometimes, for me, since I'm twenty-one, it does not feel any different than my last birthday.
Thirty feels more monumental than anything before it, but only leaves me with disillusionment. The picture of life can be unsatisfactory at times. Too many flaws in the narrative.
Happy Belated Birthday! Enjoyed your photos =)
Beautiful site.It has a very relaxing vibe...just what is needed in our hectic 24/7 lives.
Is sounds interesting, a new linear way of narrating a story, taking advantage of the new existing technology, I would like to see some of the resulting stuff,
