Hi, I stumbled on your blog, when I googled "dragon+beirut" because I was looking for the meaning of this sticker I found: http://sansglutenabeyrouth.blogspot.com/2012/06/dragons-beyrouth.html Such a great blog. Thank you documenting our city. Many of the buildings you took pictures of, are unfortunately disappearing... I noticed at least 2 that are no longer there... Do you use a special lens to correct perspective? or do you edit your pics later? You have an eye for architectural details. Are you in the architectural field? Looking forward to reading your future posts.
Dear Mary Ann, I ve been looking for a way to contact you. I hope you'll get this comment here. I wanted to tell how much i admire your sensibility towards the urban details of this city. You've surprised me with your delicate approach and your "beiruti" sense of capturing the essence of this city, better than a lot of native lovers of Beirut. Your blog has been an inspiration and if you ever come back to Beirut one day, i would love to meet you and show you my work. Hope you and your children are well. All the best.
Everybody's looking for something. Mary Ann is looking for the real Beirut, whatever that means. These are the photos she takes along the way.
You can browse around the archives here or check out her other blogs. There's one from a few years ago, back when she blogged about art. And then there's another from '09 when she lived in St. Louis (USA).
I just spent an hour on your blog. Wow, I really miss Beirut. I have to find a way to get back there.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
Missing ur posts!
ReplyDeleteMe too I miss my daily shot of Beiruti beauty here. Though my blog is on hold too at the mo - hopefully we'll both be back to blogging very very soon.
