Ameer is a talented photographer and most interesting person. I discovered his photos about a year ago. His remarks are always so kind. You never know what comments he may come up with! He shows a lot of compassion in his work and he appears to put a lot of effort into his photography. I hope that turns out to be rewarding, in more than a personal, altruistic way. Maybe a sharp editor will see talent and snap him up. I don't usually do "testimonials". But since I got one I will try to return the favor. Its hard to say too much about someone you don't know personally, but I can tell you that Ameer has a kind heart and great photographic instinct. My views on Obama, the new Decider have become more realistic every day. The so-called "War on terrorism" has now shifted to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Lets all hope that the U.S. military runs out of $$ and energy, soon. Best of luck to you and the people you portray so beautifully. Cecilia To Ameer: thank you for your attempts to cheer me up!
