Nostalgia..

Today I spent some time with my father wondering around in our beloved Amman in order to take some pictures of the city. I may seem childish when saying this but every second I spent it today with him was full of joy, fun, happiness and wisdom in the same time!

Simply we were a father and his daughter searching for a great spot for photography! And since Amman is a set of mountains, we kept on moving from one mountain to another... ‘jabal ilashrafyeh’ ‘jabal ilmareekh’ ‘jabal iltajj’ jabal nadeef’ then of course we had to visit down town, it’s one of our sanctuaries! We love the smell, the noise and the crowdness of people there! Maybe it all because of the nostalgia...

On the other hand, it amazing how a tool such as a camera could change the behavior of people passing by the photographer, some of them smile or giggle shyly, some of them try to walk faster in order to hide, and even some may ask you questions and start small talks out of curiosity!

I may have documented some of the sites in Amman, but some of today’s memories can’t be captured, yet it’s engraved in my memory, for instance the moment when we saw a kid was about to be hit by a car.. And when we stopped in one way curved roads with the flushers of the car on and trying to pause the time for seconds! Another moment when we had some delicious Armenian pastries from Arteen’s bakery! Also when dad forgot the car key’s inside the car and we stayed outside laughing! Basically it was a day of memories and remarkable events, and now I’m waiting eagerly for the next time, where we will visit ‘jabal Amman’ ‘Jabal alnaser’ ‘jabal ilwebdeh’ for taking some pictures and listening to my dearly loved father talking about Amman passionately.
