<div>We asked Egyptian photographer El-Sayed El-Saadany, our Contributor &nbsp;of the Month, about his artistic journey in the world of photography. He said:<br /><br />"My name is El-Sayed El-Metwally El-Saadany, I&rsquo;m 25 years old، from Gharbia Governorate. I graduated from Al-Azhar University, Faculty of Arabic Language. My photography journey began in 2023 when I started taking pictures of my friends at university using my phone. That&rsquo;s when I began learning the basics of photography online.<br /><br />In the beginning, I photographed everything، architecture, street scenes, nature, and products، until I discovered my true passion in street and documentary photography. In 2024, I got my first camera and I&rsquo;m still learning to this day.<br /><br />I was awarded third place in the Zayed Award for Creativity, fourth place in the Journalists&rsquo; Syndicate competition in the university students&rsquo; category in 2024, and third place in the Life Street competition in the photo story category in 2025.<br /><br />El-Sayed El-Saadany has a deep passion for documentary photography a passion that clearly shines through in the images he shares, each one reflecting time, effort, and identity.<br /><br />In the village of "Oshiem" in Fayoum Governorate one of the few places that still preserve their ancient handmade crafts and continue to live in their echo he captured a powerful scene: a local pottery maker carrying a clay jar on his shoulder. This frame, as seen through the eyes of a photographer, holds more than just an image it carries a message.<br /><br />The jar, formed from clay and shaped into art, becomes a symbol of heritage passed down through generations. Behind the young man stands an old, crumbling pottery kiln a silent witness to a bygone era. In contrast, the presence of movement in the image the youth, the action symbolizes continuity and resilience, a quiet determination to keep ancestral crafts alive.<br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.themiddleframe.com/static-assets/cf8b81fe-6c2c-4cba-a6a1-15cedd8fb743.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="389" /><br />To El-Saadany, this frame speaks of places untouched by the noise of the city, places that still strive to protect their identity, heritage, and cultural memory, even as time pushes them toward decay and disappearance.<br /><br />He sees his photograph not merely as a documentary image, but as a living testimony a visual tribute to daily struggle, to the beauty of simplicity that we often overlook in the rush of everyday life. It is through the lens that such moments are preserved, allowing us to pause and truly see.</div>

<p dir="rtl">سألنا المصور المصري السيد السعدني مصور الشهر عن مسيرته الفنية في عالم التصوير، فقال:<br /><br />اسمى السيد المتولى السعدنى، عمري 25، من محافظة الغربية، تخرجت من جامعة الأزهر كلية اللغة العربية، بدأت مسيرتي في ااتصوير عام 2023 حينما كنت التقط صورا لأصدقائى فى الجامعة بالهاتف، ومن هنا بدأت تعلم أساسيات التصوير من على الانترنت. فى البداية كنت أصور كل شئ، معمارى وشارع وطببعية ومنتجات، حتى وجدت شغفى في تصوير الشارع والتصوير الوثائقى، وفي عام 2024 اقتنيت أول كاميرا وما زلت &nbsp;اتعلم حتى الآن. حصلت على المركز الثالث فى مسابقة زايد للإبداع، والمركز الرابع فى مسابقة نقابة الصحفيين محور طلبة الجامعات 2024، والمركز الثالث في مسابقه لايف ستريت فى محور القصة المصورة 2025.<br /><br />يهتم السيد السعدني بالتصوير الوثائقي، ولذا أرسل لنا صور تجسّد الزمن والجهد والهوية، ففي قرية "أوشيم" بمحافظة الفيوم، واحدة من القرى التي لا تزال تحافظ على صناعاتها اليدوية القديمة، وتعيش على صداها، التقط صورة لعامل مصري في صناعة الفخار، كادر يحمل رسالة رآها بعين المصور.<br /><br />في هذا الكادر، يحمل الشاب جرة على كتفه، تلك الجرّة، المصنوعة من الطين والمشكّلة كعملٍ فني، تصبح رمزًا للإرث الذي يُنقَل عبر الأجيال. يقف خلف الشاب فرن فخّار قديم ومتهالك، شاهدٌ صامت على زمنٍ مضى. وعلى النقيض من ذلك، فإن وجود الحركة في الصورة يرمز إلى الاستمرارية والصمود، وإلى عزيمةٍ هادئة للحفاظ على الحِرف اليدوية الموروثة حيّة.<br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.themiddleframe.com/static-assets/cf8b81fe-6c2c-4cba-a6a1-15cedd8fb743.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="389" /><br /><br />يري السيد السعدني أن هذا الكادر يخبره بأن هنا؛ أماكن تعيش بعيدا عن ضوضاء المدينة، لا تزال تحاول الحفاظ على هويتها وتراثها وثقافتها، حتى وإن كان الوقت يفرض عليها الهدم والاندثار.<br /><br />كما يري السيد السعدني أن الكادر الذي التقطه بعدسته ليس فقط صورة وثائقية، وإنما هو شهادة حية على الكفاح اليومي، وعلى جمال البساطة التي من الممكن أن تمر أمامنا يوميا دون أن نلمحه أو نلتفت إليه إلا من خلال الصورة التي تحتفظ به.</p>

A Photographer's Story

قصة مصور

<h3>The most unhelpful advice ever given. If mental health were that simple, why do so many of us feel lost in our own minds?</h3>
<h3>A healthy mind isn&rsquo;t about constant positivity&mdash;it&rsquo;s about understanding the clutter. Imagine your mind as a room: every unresolved emotion, unhealed wound, and unspoken fear piles up until you&rsquo;re tripping over the mess. So let&rsquo;s ask the real question: How clean is your&nbsp;mental&nbsp;space?"</h3>
<h3>A mind is healthy when clear of:</h3>
<h3>A- comparison,&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>We keep comparing ourselves to others or even to our past selves, and that creates a gap between what is and what can be. Easier said than done, but here is how: by understanding that everyone is going through their own path and paths may seem similar, but they definitely aren&rsquo;t. Starting points are not the same, Conditions are not the same, and most importantly, the experience&rsquo;s impact on the person varies. So just keep swimming like the wise Dory once said, and hope for the best.</h3>
<h3>B- Judgments,</h3>
<h3>I think it&rsquo;s human nature to judge, no matter how hard we try not to or pretend that we don&rsquo;t judge, but in fact we do, whether we are judging others according to what &ldquo;we&rdquo; think is right or wrong,</h3>
<h3>Or judging ourselves on what we once did or said, judging our choices under the umbrella of good and bad, forgetting that this mindset is fear-based.</h3>
<h3>C- Fear,</h3>
<h3>Understanding that fear is one of the main characters in our minds and learning to accept that fact will help us decode that emotion that most often takes over and leave the mind swamped with &ldquo;negative&rdquo; thoughts.</h3>
<h3>Fear is there to help us, it&rsquo;s like an alarm system that goes off when something might be harmful to our survival. It&rsquo;s built in; no one is without fear, but regulating fear helps us make the most of it.&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>Sometimes we feel anxious or worried, and that&rsquo;s a chance to dig deeper and see what the real reasoning is behind this feeling. Sometimes we need to reassure our minds that it&rsquo;s okay, we are safe.</h3>
<h3>A mind is healthy when:</h3>
<h3>Staying active,</h3>
<h3>An active mind is a good trade for an overthinking mind. Try to keep your mind active with important matters, a good book to read, a deep conversation with someone you trust, or even a new hobby that interests you, having a pet, maybe some plants, or better yet, discover your artistic side ( we all have one)&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>Having a support network,</h3>
<h3>&nbsp;Being the social creatures we are, we need people around us who help lift us and us them too. Surround yourself with people you love and trust. Those who make us feel safe and seen are important to have a healthy mentality.</h3>
<h3>Able to self-love,</h3>
<h3>We think we love ourselves, but do we really?&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>When you're free of judgment, comparison, and fear, loving imperfections, realizing that it&rsquo;s all good and can be better.&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>I know you might have heard this before or maybe read it somewhere, but from personal experience, these are the core points, even if they take a different shape in everyone&rsquo;s eyes.&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>Allow yourself to explore and know that there is something good in every bad situation; finding the silver lining helps see the bigger picture.</h3>
<h3>Trusting that everything that happens is inevitable for you to reach the mind state that you feel comfortable in.</h3>

<h3 dir="rtl">&rdquo; كن سعيدًا فقط"<br />أكثر نصيحة غير مفيدة على الإطلاق. لو كانت الصحة العقلية بهذه البساطة، فلماذا يشعر الكثير منا بأنه ضائع في دوامة أفكاره؟</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">العقل السليم لا يعني الإيجابية الدائمة، بل فهم الفوضى بداخله. تخيل عقلك كغرفة: كل عاطفة غير مُحلَّة، وجرح لم يلتئم، وخوف لم يجد الامان يتراكم حتى تتعثر في هذه الفوضى. إذن، لنطرح السؤال الحقيقي</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">:&nbsp;ما مدى نظافة مساحتك العقلية؟</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">العقل السليم يخلو من:</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">أ- المقارنة<br />نواصل مقارنة أنفسنا بالآخرين أو حتى بأنفسنا في الماضي، مما يخلق فجوة بين "ما هو" و "ما يمكن أن يكون". الكلام أسهل من التطبيق، لكن الحل كالتالي: افهم أن كل شخص يسير في طريقه الخاص. قد تبدو المسارات متشابهة، لكنها ليست كذلك. نقاط البداية مختلفة، الظروف مختلفة، والأهم من ذلك، تأثير التجارب على الشخص يختلف. لذا، كما قالت "دوري" الحكيمة:&nbsp;"استمر في السباحة"&nbsp;وتفاءل بالخير.</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">ب- الأحكام<br />أعتقد أن إصدار الأحكام جزء من طبيعتنا البشرية، مهما حاولنا تجنبها أو التظاهر بعدم القيام بها. نحن نحكم على الآخرين بناءً على ما نعتقد أنه "صحيح" أو "خاطئ"، ونحكم على أنفسنا بسبب ما فعلناه أو قلناه في الماضي، ونصنف خياراتنا تحت مظلة "جيد" و"سيء"، متناسين أن هذا التفكير قائم على&nbsp;الخوف.</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">ج- الخوف<br />افهم أن الخوف أحد الشخصيات الرئيسية في عقلك، وتقبُّل هذه الحقيقة سيساعدك على فك شفرة هذه المشاعر التي غالبًا ما تستولي على العقل وتغمره بالأفكار "السلبية".<br />الخوف موجود لمساعدتنا؛ إنه مثل نظام إنذار ينطلق عندما يكون هناك شيء قد يهدد بقاءنا. إنه فطري، ولا يوجد إنسان بلا خوف. لكن&nbsp;تنظيم الخوف&nbsp;يساعدنا في الاستفادة منه.<br />أحيانًا نشعر بالقلق أو التوتر، وهذه فرصة للتعمق ومعرفة السبب الحقيقي وراء هذا الشعور. أحيانًا، كل ما نحتاجه هو طمأنة عقولنا بأن&nbsp;كل شيء على ما يرام، نحن بأمان.</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">العقل السليم يكون عندما:</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">١- يبقى نشطًا<br />العقل النشط هو بديل رائع للعقل المفرط في التفكير. حافظ على نشاط عقلك بأمور مهمة: كتاب جيد، محادثة عميقة مع شخص تثق به، هواية جديدة، اقتناء حيوان أليف أو نباتات، أو حتى اكتشاف جانبك الفني (كلنا لدينا واحد!).</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">٢- يمتلك شبكة دعم<br />بكوننا كائنات اجتماعية، نحتاج إلى أشخاص حولنا يرفعون من معنوياتنا، ونرفع معنوياتهم بدورنا. أحط نفسك بأحبائك ومن تثق بهم، فهؤلاء الذين يشعرونك بالأمان والرؤية ضروريون لصحة عقلية سليمة.</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">٣- يكون قادرًا على حب الذات<br />نظن أننا نحب أنفسنا، لكن هل هذا صحيح؟<br />عندما تتحرر من الأحكام والمقارنة والخوف، سيصبح حب الذات سلسًا وسهلًا، لأنه فقط عندها ستستطيع&nbsp;تذكر من أنت حقًا، بكل عيوبك ونقائصك، مدركًا أن كل شيء على ما يرام.. ويمكن أن يصبح أفضل.</h3>
<h3 dir="rtl">قد تكون سمعت هذا من قبل أو قرأته في مكان ما، لكن من تجربة شخصية، هذه هي النقاط الأساسية، حتى لو اتخذت أشكالًا مختلفة في عيون الجميع.<br />اسمح لنفسك بالاستكشاف، واعلم أن هناك&nbsp;شيئًا جيدًا في كل موقف سيء؛ إيجاد الجانب المشرق يساعدك في رؤية الصورة الأكبر.<br />ثق&nbsp;بأن كل ما يحدث هو حتمي لتصل إلى الحالة العقلية التي تشعر فيها بالراحة</h3>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.themiddleframe.com/static-assets/b3020194-9f7b-4d3a-89e9-336b562afc6a.jpeg" alt="" width="418" height="555" /></h3>

“Just be happy”

” كن سعيدًا فقط"

<p>And it really is. We see many trends that occur only during Ramadan; no matter how one looks at it, it&rsquo;s full of kindness and nobility.</p>
<p>You see streets dress up with decorations for an entire month. People change due to fasting; Ramadan can be/feel different depending on where you live in the world as every country celebrates this holy month of Ramadan their way; the cultures and traditions vary from one place to another, but they all agree on one thing, that it is indeed Kareem.</p>
<p>Ramadan is the time of the year when day and night couldn&rsquo;t have more contrast.</p>
<p>Daytime in Ramadan is usually about quieter streets and shorter work hours. You see people everywhere reading the Quran or going to pray, and then gradually it gets busy and loud; it's 2 hours before Iftar, it dawns on people that it&rsquo;s almost over, they arerunning out of time to arrive somewhere or to prepare the Iftar food, short meaningless fights happen at homes and in the streets, and then all of a sudden it happens&hellip;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s the prayer calling for Maghrib!</p>
<p>It all goes very quiet; the streets are almost empty, and it&rsquo;s all so serene and beautiful for about 15 minutes. Then, it&rsquo;s nighttime!</p>
<p>Tarawih is an essential part of Ramadan, People go to mosques and some of them make an event of it, going to the oldest mosque, the biggest mosque or, the mosque with a sheikh who has a great voice, or even a mosque that finishes quickly.</p>
<p>I can talk about Ramadan till next Ramadan, but I think it is best to see it from a perspective that adds life to words, which is Photography.</p>
<p>As it&rsquo;s becoming my favorite thing to do, meeting with photographers and bringing their side of the story. So, for this month, I met with a photographer who is also a nomad, partially archeologist, and a tour guide, among many other job titles... Sameh Mohamed.</p>
<p>Despite his young age, Sameh has done a lot and gained a very decent experience in photography in multiple genres varying from street photography to ancient monuments.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s get into it. Ramadan for photographers, is a golden chance to capture wonderful moments and amazing vibes that show the magic of Ramadan. &ldquo;Walking in Egypt is like a movie scene.&rdquo;</p>
<p>We got some insights on where to go in Ramadan for Iftar or Suhoor.</p>
<p>Each spot in Cairo has a totally different yet amazing vibe, such as downtown (the real one, not the one in tagamo3), Khan El Khalili, and Kurba. &nbsp;</p>
<p>For a photographer in such a themed month, almost everywhere you go is going to be crowded and loud, and this is exactly where the fun is. Among the chaos, there are always these moment that makes the whole day much easier and, in the end, worth it. One of those moments was when Sameh was working in the Matareya event (which needs a blog of its own)</p>
<p>At some point they close the street&rsquo;s entrances and exits, and Sameh wanted to take this shot from a certain spot, but it was out of the closed zone, so he was talking to the guy by the barricade to let him go out, but the guy wouldn&rsquo;t budge, so Sameh was telling him that the family living in that apartment invited him to shoot from their balcony, the guy then looked at the balcony only to realize this was his own house and his mom or sister was giving him the okay, and that smooth Sameh was able to go and get the shot he wanted and became good buddies with that guy as well.</p>
<p>So Ramadan is the month where good prevails and doors open with blessings everywhere. We&rsquo;ll talk more about Ramadan in our upcoming blogs, so stay tuned.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p class="p1" dir="rtl">وهذا صحيح. نرى الكثير من الظواهر التي لا تظهر إلا في رمضان، مهما نظرنا إليها، فهي مليئة باللطف والنبل.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">ترى الشوارع مُزينةً طوال شهر كامل. يتغير الناس بسبب الصيام؛ قد يختلف رمضان من مكان لآخر، فكل بلد يحتفل بشهر رمضان المبارك على طريقته الخاصة؛ تختلف الثقافات والتقاليد من مكان لآخر، لكنها جميعًا تتفق على شيء واحد، وهو أنه رمضان كريم.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">رمضان هو الوقت من السنة الذي لا يمكن أن يكون فيه الليل والنهار أكثر تباينًا.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">عادةً ما يكون نهار رمضان هادئًا في الشوارع وساعات عمل أقصر. ترى الناس في كل مكان يقرأون القرآن أو يذهبون للصلاة، ثم يزدحم المكان تدريجيًا ويزداد صخبًا. قبل ساعتين من الإفطار، يدرك الناس أن الوقت قد شارف على الانتهاء، وأن الوقت يضيق بهم للوصول إلى مكان ما أو لتحضير طعام الإفطار، وتحدث مشاجرات قصيرة لا معنى لها في المنازل والشوارع، ثم فجأةً يحدث...</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">إنها صلاة المغرب!</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">يسود هدوءٌ تام؛ الشوارع شبه خالية، ويسودها هدوءٌ وجمالٌ ساحرٌ لخمس عشرة دقيقة. ثمّ، يحل الليل!</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">صلاة التراويح جزء أساسي من رمضان، يذهب الناس إلى المساجد وبعضهم يجعل من ذلك حدثاً، يذهب إلى أقدم مسجد، أو أكبر مسجد، أو المسجد الذي يوجد به شيخ ذو صوت عظيم، أو حتى المسجد الذي ينتهي بسرعة.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">أستطيع أن أتحدث عن رمضان حتى رمضان القادم، ولكن أعتقد أن الأفضل أن ننظر إليه من منظور يضيف الحياة إلى الكلمات، وهو التصوير الفوتوغرافي.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">بما أن لقاء المصورين وسرد قصصهم أصبح من هواياتي المفضلة، فقد التقيت هذا الشهر بمصور فوتوغرافي، وهو أيضًا رحالة، وعالم آثار، ومرشد سياحي، بالإضافة إلى العديد من المهن الأخرى... سامح محمد.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">على الرغم من صغر سنه، إلا أن سامح أنجز الكثير واكتسب خبرة جيدة جدًا في التصوير الفوتوغرافي في أنواع متعددة تتراوح من تصوير الشوارع إلى المعالم الأثرية القديمة.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">لنبدأ، رمضان للمصورين فرصة ذهبية لالتقاط لحظات رائعة وأجواء مميزة تعكس سحر رمضان. "المشي في مصر أشبه بمشهد سينمائي".</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">حصلنا على بعض الأفكار حول الأماكن التي يمكن أن نذهب إليها في رمضان لتناول الإفطار أو السحور.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">كل مكان في القاهرة له أجواء مختلفة تمامًا ومذهلة، مثل وسط المدينة (الحقيقي، وليس الموجود في التجمع الخامس)، وخان الخليلي، والكوربة.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">بالنسبة لمصور في شهرٍ ذي طابعٍ خاص، ستجد نفسك في كل مكان تقريبًا مكتظًا بالناس، وهنا يكمن السرور. وسط هذه الفوضى، هناك دائمًا لحظاتٌ تُسهّل يومك، وتجعله يستحق العناء في النهاية. إحدى تلك اللحظات كانت عندما كان سامح يعمل في فعالية المطرية (التي تحتاج إلى مدونة خاصة بها).</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">في مرحلة ما، أغلقوا مداخل ومخارج الشارع، وأراد سامح أن يلتقط هذه اللقطة من مكان معين، لكنها كانت خارج المنطقة المغلقة، لذلك كان يتحدث إلى الرجل عند الحاجز ليسمح له بالخروج، لكن الرجل لم يتزحزح، لذلك كان سامح يخبره أن العائلة التي تعيش في تلك الشقة دعته للتصوير من شرفتهم، ثم نظر الرجل إلى الشرفة فقط ليدرك أن هذا هو منزله وأن والدته أو أخته كانت تعطيه الموافقة، وأن سامح السلس كان قادرًا على الذهاب والحصول على اللقطة التي يريدها وأصبح صديقًا جيدًا لذلك الرجل أيضًا.</p>
<p class="p1" dir="rtl">رمضان شهر الخير، وأبواب البركات مفتوحة في كل مكان. سنتحدث أكثر عن رمضان في تدويناتنا القادمة، فتابعونا.</p>

9 Dec, 2016 - Al-Shirgat, Salah ad Din, Iraq: New IDPs fleeing Mosul use a Hashed Al Sunni boat to cross the Tigris river. 
Members of Hashed Al Sunni help and protect civilians escape ISIS-controlled areas in Mosul and cross the Tigris river and enter Shirqat District where they will be sheltered in camps. 
Hashed Al Sunni is a Sunni tribal force sometimes referred to as "tribal mobilization" or "national mobilisation". It is a member of Hashed al-Shaabi, an umbrella organisation created in 2014, which includes an array of paramilitary forces who vary widely in skill and in the degree to which they are actually under government control. The main groups are Iranian-backed Shiite militias, including Ketaeb Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al-Haq and Badr. The Hashed has played a major role in the anti-IS fight in Iraq but forces within it have also carried out abuses.

Alfred Shammas Palace, located in the Korba district of Heliopolis, stands as a stunning example of architectural elegance and refined living. Its grandeur and beauty reflect a lifestyle of sophistication and charm.

The palace was gifted by King Farouk to his bride, Safinaz Zulfiqar (later Queen Farida), as a residence for her and her family after they moved from Alexandria to Cairo to prepare for the royal wedding.

The palace originally belonged to Alfred Shammas, a merchant of Levantine origin who lived in Egypt. His initials in English are still inscribed on the palace gate. Today, the palace stands beside the Evangelical Church, overlooking Thawra Street on one side and Cleopatra Street on the other.
