Call Me Siar @siar-photography - Tumblr Blog

No words. Just Chaï.

There is this beauty, this good taste in getting lost, wondering around and not expecting anything from the place you’re visiting.

As I wandered all alone around the Lodhi Garden, in Delhi, I felt for the first time that I was really free. I can choose when to leave, where to go, what to photograph, who to talk to you. No restrictions. No judgments to care about. When you travel to a foreign…

Day 14: Long Night Rides

This what you call an “off series” post. This won’t have anything to do with the Cinema series. It’s just the usual me and my dreamy moments. I have this shirt that says “It’s all about the little things”. I used to thing of it of some kind of cheesy quotes clothing companies use to sell their clothings (There are too many of those). But with time, I learned that no matter how lame it sounds,…

Day 13: Cinema – Italian Neorealism

Hello again on the 3rd episode of “10 Days of Cinema”. Today I am going to talk about another important cinematic movement.

It’s the Italien Neorealism. What is Neorealism ? Let’s break this down. Italian…

Hello folks !

I love traveling. And I don’t know if something about escaping my reality, nourishing my hunger for new experiences or getting in direct contact with different cultures. This taught how to look at things differently and try to understand other countries rituals and behaviors. But more importantly, traveling taught me to accept others culture the way it is.

During my lifetime, I’ve to few countries other than mine. I’m intending to make this list much longer, but I suppose that takes time, effort and a little bit of money.

Here are few of my favorite spots that I visited in Egypt.

Day 9: My trip to Egypt Hello folks ! I love traveling. And I don't know if something about escaping my reality, nourishing my hunger for new experiences or getting in direct contact with different cultures.

One of the most amazing events that I helped organizing last year at the university is the Jam Session. Basically, it’s an annual event that gives the chance to young musical talents to get on stage and display their art. What amazed me the most about this event is not the music itself, but every thing that happened behind the scenes. I’ve never such good spirit, amazing team work, creative and super cool members. It was one of my favorite life chapters. I’ll give a glance to the event :

Day 7: The girl who's afraid of words

Day 7: The girl who’s afraid of words

I have the “Fear of Blank Paper”. I generally don’t know what to talk about until I start writing what I’m writing. Using words has never been easy for me. I find hard and exhausting. Maybe it’s something to do with my brain.Ma19ybe it’s due to the fact that I chose to be silent during the first 18 years of my life (I’m 19 for the record). I’ve always been the silent kid in class. I made me…

Day 6: Street Art at the Medina

One of my dreams as a teenager was to become a graffiti artist. Unfortunately, I never really fulfilled this dream. I just limited myself to paper sketches and simple typo designs. It’s not something I’m proud of, but I guess we sometimes should limit our interests in order to have a better focus on the main ones. Nevertheless, I still love this form of urban art. I generally photograph “graffs”…

Day 5: The time I fell in love

I think I fell in love. Yes, I admit it, I never expected to be honest but I guess it was inevitable. It had to happen sooner or later. This love of mine is deep and beautiful, but sometimes silly and purely random. This love of mine is a rebellious work of art, evolving by mastering the rules and breaking them in the most creative ways. This love of mine is much older then I am. Don’t be…

Day 4: Bringing happiness to my world

Posting a bit late, but still posting anyway 😀 Today, I wanted to talk about the things that never fail to bring me happiness. At some points of my life, I get super depressed and lose interest in every thing. Other days, I’m just bored and not motivated to do anything at all. So here’s the list of the most joyful things of my life, the secret behind my smile and the reason why I do whatever I…

Day 3: Today was cancelled, go back to sleep

Once again, I want to welcome you on the third article on this 365 series of posts. This won’t be a cheerful one, so proceed at your own risk. Today is one of these days that don’t exist for me. It’s one of these of days when I hate everything. I hate it when the sun kisses my face with its hot burning beams, brutally trying to force me to go off my bed. I hate the voice of birds in the morning,…

Day 2: The thing about Tunisia

Hello humans of internet! This the second post of a long series of 365 other ones, and I’ll be talking about my beloved homeland, Tunisia. The things that effect the most your life course are the ones that you don’t get to choose. You don’t choose your parents, your gender nor do you get to pick the nation that you belong to. You may live your whole life trying to deny what you’ll never be able…

A little bit of madness is Key.

I’ve always feared writing. I still don’ t know why. Maybe I am so stunned by the writers I love, I never reached satisfaction with anything I write. Maybe I’m just not that good with word. Or maybe I simple haven’t tried enough.

Photographing and Drawing were there for me when I couldn’t find the right words. My camera is my emotional vessel. My photographs are generally simply composed, colorful and clear. They are the way I express a certain emotion I had at the moment, a feeling that hunted me for a while, a certain point view on a social subject, or simply my amaze by the beauty of a certain landscape/person/object. If I’m not good enough with common language to describe the beauty of the world with the words, then a photography could be my window to the world. I never reread what I write, a stupid fear of confronting my mistakes, but with photographs, I make sure that everything is on point. Well, I’m trying to make it that way. Perfection is far fetched. But that’s fine. Art isn’t always supposed to be perfect, neither are human beings.

We are flowed, complicated and sometimes, we don’t make sense. This is random, I know, but what can I say, “a little bit of madness is key”.

To another day, another photograph, I salute your dear follower .
