this was at the Islamic Center in downtown Washington D.C. during the shoot some guy came over and kicked us out.
his reason? in a thick arab accent, with spittle dribbling down his beard, he yelled, “this is not islam! this is modeling, and you cannot do modeling and be a muslim!”
so we left.
hahaha…that’s very funny. good picture though, masha’Allah.
what type of SLR do you use?
i use a nikon d80
bodies, don’t matter though, it’s all about the lens. mine is a crappy 18-70 3.5-4.5.
but it’s all i can afford!
i see love and security.
lol, the funny thing is, that same incident happened to me and Naeem when we went to the Islamic Center with Omar Mullick to shoot some pictures for the National Geographic. I had a soccer ball under my head, laying down, and reading Quran and suddenly this guy pops out of nowhere and hes like, “out. now.” That time, it was Ramadan, and Br. Karim Abu Zaid led the prayer there for that year and Omar said that he got permission from Br. Karim. The guy just shrugged and was like so? just get out. it was pretty annoying
haha lol. insane.
