Artist's Comments

I went on a little photo trip to Tripoli yesterday. Last time I was there was 12 july 2006, the day the war started... The city's been almost completely gentrified since then, it's amazing. We had a great time, my friend pretended to be an American tourist and I was "translating" his requests to take people's portraits. It amused them to no end but they indulging the "foreigner", so there were some memorable moments!

This was shot from the top of the citadel of the Crusaders, which literally dominates the city. The housing you see on the right are actually a kind of suburb. The main body of Tripoli is on the other side for the citadel and that sprawls all the way to the sea.

Man, this reminds me quite a bit of Jerusalem, though I admit that's just me assigning association to something based on my limited context :) The one thing that's missing though: a bunch of HUGE antennae and satellite dishes!
