I'm still not over my crippling shyness of taking humans' photographs. I asked Mohammad, Arwa and Amna to finish the rest of the film. Results are beautiful. Here's a collection of photos taken by 4 different people. Sadly, most of them were blurry but the rest turned out quite nice.

Camera: Minolta Freedom iii
Film: Kodak ColorPlus 200

This was held in Qasr Al Hosn’s event in the -what used to be- Cultural Foundation. As far as I know, this event is held once every year and celebrate’s the UAE’s traditions in a very authentic pre-modernization way.
