On 2010

On 2010

By Ali Salem on December 31, 2009

On an uncertain 12th of May in the year of the Ox (2009 in Chinese), I launched my personal website, Almost a Whisper, as an attempt to exhibit the times of my life with the world of photography. Since then, I have published 30 posts with hundreds of photos, and as a result received around [...]

El Zahir

Muriel – Angel of June

By Ali Salem on August 30, 2006

The forgotten gift

The forgotten gift

By Ali Salem on May 17, 2006

It rushes down your body in a pause of time, Leaving behind trails of surprising deliverance, It is like a never-ending stream of devotion to itself, That miraculously brings existence back to your lost spirit.

About Ali Salem

My story is quick and simple. I occasionally carry my DSLR around and try to take photos that can share a story, a moment, a memory, or simply bits and pieces of my life.

So sit back, have a browse and hopefully you'll find something you like. Feel obliged to comment while you are it too.

Enjoy!

Ali
