Day Three Hundred Eight, November 26, 2011
Color, we marvel at it in the sky, in rainbows, in butterflies, in the ocean, in the trees, in fruits,… all around us. We use it in fashion, in style, in homes, in crafts, in food art, in painting, and it becomes part of our identity. But at some point, the use of color was…

Day Three Hundred One, November 19, 2011
It is that time of year. If you believe in the power of color even a little bit, then you will feel the influence of white at beginning to show up. Something very special seems to happen on our planet at the time of the holidays, so it is no coincidence that several religions focus…

Day Two Hundred Fourty Five, September 24, 2011
To wake up excited about a new day, to find something wonderful about any type of weather, to look at mud as a potential mud pie, to view a puddle as a chance at some great splash excitement, to laugh at funny things without any inhibition including a funny face or a very fat bum,…

Day Two Hundred Thirty Nine, September 18, 2011
The night has no color, darkness has no glow, just maybe the sparkling stars and the smiling moon, reflecting and radiating sunlight. Only the sun has such glory, the magic of painting all with color, with incandescent beauty, in breathtaking shades, with a great golden majesty.

Day Two Hundred Fifteen, August 25, 2011
‘Summer rain’, so many songs are written about, movies, books, plays… I never new summer rain till I left Lebanon for New York, because back home, it never rains in the hot months. And we used to hear of this strange phenomenon as children and think “how exotic! Maybe one day we can witness it…

Day Two Hundred Eleven, August 21, 2011
The first thing that amazes me coming back to Shanghai is the abundance of artificial light.
