number word

Many ideas come to us at the beginning of each year. A greater ambition resides within us, but the circumstances and conditions in Lebanon remain a closed door to everything we dream or plan for.
We offer steps and retreat with similar ones... And the wishes that we have from time to time remain, and we search for the foundations of their success, and we find them far from reach, which is the establishment of an Arab federation for photographers.
This great goal, with its meanings, needs arms that stand with us and by our side.. and we will keep raising this issue until we reach the goal...
The most prominent activity of this year will be the first photographic exhibition of photographers in Lebanon, which the magazine is organizing with the University's Photography Club
And as an extension of it, we also hope to organize the first exhibition of photographers in the Arab world as a step on the road to union.

Flash presented by Saleh Rifai

At the age of five, our child does not enter school

At the beginning of the fifth year of her life, I look at her.. and see that she has grown up in an amazing way.
At this age, our child and our companion became able to speak the language of adults.
No, she has mastered many languages ​​and has become the focus of attention of many. Our child is growing up seriously.
You receive messages of all kinds, messages of longing and nostalgia.
You receive compliments, praise and expressions of love in a great sense.
I grew up..but they all prefer...
Name it, little girl.
Even our colleague, the general supervisor, found something comforting in this name, so he started asking from time to time: “What is the new news for our child?”
How did you become and how did you become...? ! . .
For our part, we see her grow up
And - she strutted - among the libraries in the most beautiful wrap dresses. And thinner and more interesting pages
Thus, her lovers increased until we became afraid of her because of their abundance!
We are afraid of the expressions of praise, the abundance of care, the severity of politeness and kindness in dealing with her! .
We fear for the child from the flood of love, nostalgia and spinning
I remember here, at the beginning of her life, when a friend of the photographers entered, carrying in his hand a number of our first editions
Wonders :
How many years can you publish such a magazine for a year or two, maybe three years or even four years, but what will you write next? Won't you run out of materials? !
I was silent and so did my daughter.
It was as if she had not heard the question, and we contented ourselves with pointing to the door of a nearby school
Students flock to it by the dozens
My friend understood without further
Clarification.
So when does the school close its doors?
When does the stock of knowledge expire?
The art of photography is an inexhaustible school of materials.
This is how it was confirmed for everyone after I entered the universities, after the schools,
From here photography derives its material and continuity, and from here the art of photography will derive its material and continuity.
If children enter schools at the age of five.
Our child is a teacher, and this age does not change her age except with more demand for her, to benefit from her increased experience in giving.
Our child is a school.. When does the school close its doors?
Our child is a sea.. Will the sea run dry? !
