Excellent documentary photography. It's always the understated, the normal that rarely gets recorded so it's great to observe the usual at the shop at 19:10:52.
Apart from the head shots and photojournalism portraits in your extensive gallery have you any 'styled' portraits of individuals? The photographs escaping capturing the instant moment, the rushed, but more the emotional and private essence of an individual - it's these images that can speak volumes. If this has set a challenge I can't wait to see the results.

Thank you so much for your comment! It is greatly appreciated.
Styled portraiture really isn't my thing; I mostly favour spontaneity when shooting my subjects.
But that doesn't mean I don't shoot styled portraits at all, it's just that I enjoy taking candids a little bit more.
Cheers!

My favorite Indian restaurant in London served the food with no rice, no knives and forks, only a pile of roti! Man I miss that place!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, who needs knives and forks when you can simply scoop out the deliciously savory and aromatic butter chicken curry with your 'burki' of hot and fluffy roti? Nothing beats the joy and satisfaction of eating with your own hand.
Hey, I know a couple of great restaurants here in Dubai that serve some of the best curry ever. My treat, come on over! Oh, and bring a fire extinguisher.

I'll bring my camera so you can show me how to use it!

Come on over, buddy! We'll break roti together.

Can I bring a couple of doctors, too? Just in case that roti Dubaian style is too much for my poor tummy?

A Roti Shop. Wish we had them here too, would make it a lot easier to choose a tasty and satisfying dinner if you're not in the mood to crowd the kitchen yourself.
An incredibly lively shot, has got some kind of 3D feel. And isn't there a smell of freshly made Roti in the air when I watch this? Could very well be ...

Really, B, nothing compares to the sheer joy of being served with a delicious dish of chicken or mutton korma with a tandoori roti hot out of the oven and a cup of slightly salty but sweet cardamom flavoured green tea on the side.
Simply divine!

Khuram, you're torturing me! And torture is a crime by the definitions of the Human rights.

Is that a messed-up try at the new DA logo in the new DA green behind the guy with the tan hat?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I believe this is the abandoned pre-alpha version of the logo. Don't know how it got here though.
Also, I'm letting you know in advance that I had nothing to do with this showing up in Dubai. I plead innocent, your honor!

As you know, DA was accused of sourcing its new logo from elsewhere despite the publication of a rather lengthy document that would show otherwise:

Welcome.
Many of you have been in this community for a long time, but whether you’ve just joined or you’ve been a member since day one, this is your first impression of the new DeviantArt.
Change is not something that we take lightly, because it affects our collective identity. It was important for us to define who we are and what we’re made of at our core before we changed anything. We all have our own understanding of what that means, but the process of getting that core story down on paper took almost a year.
The result is “Bleed and Breed Art.” This is our center of gravity and our reason for getting out of bed i
Maybe the design team went out for pastries in Dubai while they were attending another of their multinational clients...... Imagonna go check the expense account reports now.

Cool shot, Khuram. Is that little green patch (background, centre) the Arabic version of the dA logo?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey, you're right!
Never thought I'd live to see a right-to-left (RTL) version of the logo out in the wild. Haha!
Thanks very much, Keld!

Rembrandt did not live in vain…
Great shot Khuram van Rijn Lawrence……!
Most of your pictures…
are not pictures Of Things…
but About Things…!
To me…
They seem to Tell…
a similar story:
We…
We are Right here…!
We are…
and This is…
the Center of the World…!
Right here…
Right now…!
Somehow…
All these “peeps”…
As well as the drivers…
of your Water Taxis…
Are The True Urban Cats…!
I would like…
To stay here for hours…
Snackin’…
Chattin’…
An’ shootin’.
Until of course…
more customers came…
And I would disappear…
In the crowd.
The black foreground…
and the difuse purple city…
in the background…
leads our eyes…
minds and hearts…
To this lonely little island:
That bright Roti shop…
Around which…
The World Rotates.

Now that you mention it, the guy's grin is somewhat reminiscent of Rembrandt's painted selfie, 'The Prodigal Son in the Brothel'.
Only this happy fella was at the bakery.
Cheers, to you dear Jakob. Your observation skills are sharper than a samurai sword, my friend!

I second that. Jakob's got the eyes of an eagle, and he is a wordsmith of the highest order. What a pleasure to read his incredibly thoughtful comments, and best of all, they are always presented in the poets way. Lyrical, insightful, thoughtful ... Amazing man he is indeed.

He's truly one of a kind for sure!
