Guarding The Line
I don’t usually comment on how beautiful a woman is. it is not that I’m shy, and it is not that I don’t notice whether a woman is pale or vibrant. I just think it is not a good act.
just as you said before that you are not a sweet talker with men, the same applies to me. I do not sweet talk women my age, maybe elder or younger ones. and this is the right thing to do. you can think of the many reasons why.
I would love to keep our islamic values in guarding this line of modesty. I will try as much as I can not to express in words something that directly describes your beauty. if you noticed, I am already avoiding that.
I comment on the aesthetics and the overall image. not because you are the least important part of the image, and not because I am a photographer who only sees coloring and lighting as important. what is an image without you in the frame?
so maybe I will keep these comments for better days to come, and save them in a safe place. you know I will.
