Truly a warm kind thoughtful and beloved man by all....I photographed him many times and he laughed sometimes at all the silly photogs (like me) making such a big deal about him.

During the eighteenth century, the cultural center of the state of Awadh (Oudh) was Lucknow. This was where the capital was situated, except during the period 1765-75 when it was transferred to Faizabad. The Mughal empire was in steep decline, and when the governor of Awadh set himself up as an autonomous ruler, providing a relatively stable environment compared to the disarray in Delhi, much of the artistic community of Delhi migrated to Lucknow where the ruling aristocracy became their patrons. There was also a sizeable community of Europeans who became involved in the cultural life of the city, including a French-Swiss colonel Antoine-Louis-Henri Polier. The combination of the Delhi artists (musicians, architects, poets, as well as painters) trained in the classical Mughal traditions, the Awadhi aristocracy, itinerant European artists, and European patrons stimulated the evolution of a new culture. In painting, as in architecture, the focus was on the grand achievements of the Mughals of the preceding century, embellished with fashions and ideas from Europe.A French soldier, Louis Antoine Henri Polier, commissioned an album of calligraphies and paintings from a workshop in Delhi. The Europeanized style of the floral border shows either that the studio specialized in catering to foreigners or that Polier . Polier's album was later presented to Lady Eyre Coote, wife of the Commander of the British Army in India.Two of the verses are from the great mystical love poet Hafiz Nurallah, the author of the poetry in the center panel is unknown. The otherwise uncelebrated calligrapher, Muhammad 'Ali, signed and dated the central panel.This page is from an album of calligraphies and paintings commissioned by Colonel Polier, which was later presented to Lady Eyre Coote, wife of the Commander of the British Army in India. Two of the verses are from the great mystical love poet Hafiz Nurallah; the author of the poetry in the center panel is unknown. The otherwise uncelebrated calligrapher, Muhammad 'Ali, signed and dated the central panel.The verses have been translated He is the Glorifier! My spirit be thy sacrifice, O idol called Abtahi! Disruptive Turk, fervent Persian, seditious Arab, There is no one in the world who has not wondered at thy beauty. -- the sinner, Hafiz Nurallah, may Allah forgive him. He is the Glorifier! To thy threshold came The tip of our desire. If thou shouldst accept (it), Bravo to our good fortune! -- Muhammad 'Ali, 1195 He [is Allah!] If with musky wine my heart is taken, it is right, For from the hypocritical abstinence no sweet scent comes. Do not despair of the blessing of grace, for creation is generous. It forgives sins and grants absolution to lovers. -- the slave (of Allah) Hafiz Nurallah
Muhammad Ali throws out first pitch at the 2004 MLB Baseball All-Star Game in Houston Texas. Don't you just hate it when you get seats in the first section behind homeplate and you have to deal with the foul ball screen :). But I put up with the suffering.
Princess Nemat Allah Tawfiq 1881-1966, was the daughter of Khedive Tawfiq (son of Muhammad 'Ali), and the sister of Khedive Abbas Helmy. She gave her palce to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1930 and is buried in southern France.
Tewfik Pasha (Muḥammad 'Ali Tawfīq Bāshā) 1852-1892, eldest son of Khedive Ismail, Khedive (Ottoman viceroy) of Egypt & Sudan (r.1879-1892).
Muhammad 'Ali (Muhammad 'Ali Pasha al-Mas'ud ibn Agha) 1769-1849, Wāli of Egypt, Sudan, Sham (Greater Syria), Hejaz, Morea, Thasos, Crete (r.1805-1848).
'Abbas Hilmi II (ʿAbbās Ḥilmī Pāshā) 1874-1944, great-great grandson of Muhammad 'Ali & son of Tewfik Pasha, Khedive (Ottoman viceroy) of Egypt & Sudan, (r.1892-1914).
Architect: Antonio Lasciac (or Anton Laščak) 1856-1946, an Austro-Hungarian architect, engineer, poet and musician of Slovene descent, who designed the Khedive's Palace in Istanbul and the Tahra Palace in Cairo and became the Egyptian court architect in 1907 under Khedive Abbas Hilmi II.
This 1978 publicity photo of Muhammad Ali was signed for me by him back in '78. Tempus fugit, no?
The signing occurred at Ali's Deer Lake, PA training camp. Dedicated to training for fights, this place displayed all of the Runyanesque qualities of the pugilistic world.
Ali at the time was a complex character....prankster, serious, blowhard, humble, tough in training, but kind to all who visited and to those who worked at the camp. Aloof at times, but sensitive more often than not, his character electrified that, at the time, sleepy area of PA.
Boxing's a great sport, but marred among other things, by it's eternal bete noire, brain damage. I have my doubts about it ever being a "safe" sport, and I pray that I'm wrong about this!
Here's a toast to all of those who have ever laced up the gloves!

In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers. It was like waking from a dream of separateness, of spurious self-isolation in a special world, the world of renunciation and supposed holiness. The whole illusion of a separate holy existence is a dream. Not that I question the reality of my vocation, or of my monastic life: but the conception of “separation from the world” that we have in the monastery too easily presents itself as a complete illusion: the illusion that by making vows we become a different species of being, pseudo-angels, “spiritual men,” men of interior life, what have you...
This sense of liberation from an illusory difference was such a relief and such a joy to me that I almost laughed out loud. And I suppose my happiness could have taken form in the words: “Thank God, thank God that I am like other men, that I am only a man among others.”
Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God’s eyes. If only they could all see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all the time. There would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed…
~ Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander
Fear Not is a community-based art project that creates an anti-fear environment both on the street and in art spaces. The ongoing exhibition will include over 150 images of Fear Not Indirect Mail that has been delivered on the streets of San Francisco, Oakland, Brisbane, Austin, Chicago, Nashville, Kapa’a, and Wailua in the United States, Karlsruhe in Germany, and Florence and Milan in Italy, and London in England will be on view. Fear Not Indirect Mail involves participants writing anti-fear messages on postcards that are turned into magnets and placed somewhere out in the community (on bus stops, street signs, etc.) for someone else to find.
Jennifer Maria Harris: "I have shown my work in traditional art venues for many years, but I have also always created artworks that exist outside of those spaces and that invite and involve people from all walks of life, even some who might not feel comfortable in, or interested in, a gallery or museum.
In the fall of 2007 I read an interview in The Sun magazine with Irish poet and philosopher John O'Donohue. The interview focused on questions of spirituality and creativity, and along the way it mentioned that the phrase "Do not be afraid" appears 366 times in the Bible. I imagined the person who had gone through over a thousand pages looking for that one message, and it made me think about how we are constantly making choices with regard to filtering the information around us, whether that's information from the Bible or another religious text, from friends and family, or from our own thoughts. That made me interested in creating a project that would make those choices more transparent.
As human animals, it is natural for us to choose to focus on and communicate about what to be afraid of. In our current culture, where we are surrounded by an overwhelming amount of information from around the globe, this results in an equally overwhelming amount of fear-oriented messages, both in our mass media and in the information we share with each other.
The Fear Not project seeks to address this culture of fear, which cuts across communities and contributes to the divisions in our society, by inviting people to consciously deliver anti-fear messages to each other and create a culture of Fear Not. The messages tell people not to be afraid, but I don't think the power behind the message is in the words. It's in the reminder that we can choose to see those words in the world around us. It's in the reminder that we can then choose to pass those words on. It's in the fact that someone else chose to share them with us, without regard for our race, religion, or political beliefs.
In all of these ways, I hope to emphasize how the power to shape our emotional environment, and the kind of world in which we choose to live, lies with us, not with the media or anyone else.

Nature has given you everything. You have unlimited resources. The foundation of your State has been laid and it is now for you to build and build as quickly and as well as you can ... and I wish you good speed.
Father of Nation Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Speech at the Dacca University Convocation, March 24, 1948
A Hope to Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, i'll rise.
Just like moons and like stars,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise.
Taken: One beautiful evening when the star and moon were aligned , Islamabad, Pakistan.
Al-Rifa‘i (Ahmad ibn ʽAli al-Rifaʽi) 1119-1183, was an Iraqi Sunni Muslim preacher, ascetic, mystic, jurist, and theologian, known for being the eponymous founder of the Rifaʽi tariqa (Sufi order) of Islam. Although this mosque is named after him, the shrine contains the burials of his grandson, 'Ali Abu Shibbak al-Rifai and another Sufi mystic, 'Abd Allah al-Ansari.
The Mosque of al-Rifa'i replaced a zawiya (shrine) of the sufi saint, al-Rifa'i. It is also the royal mausoleum of Muhammad 'Ali's family, in addition to Hosh al-Basha (the Courtyard of the Pasha), in the Southern Cemetery.
Patron: commissioned by Hoshiyar Qadin (Hoşyar Kadın) ?-1885, consort to Ibrahim Pasha & Walida Pasha to their son, Isma'il Pasha.
Original architect: Hussein Pasha Fahmi (a distant cousin of Muhammad 'Ali), Minister of Awqaf, who died in 1880 when work stopped.
Construction Supervisor: Khalil Agha chief eunuch & director of estates for Isma'il Pasha.
Completed: work resumed in 1905 when the Khedive, Abbas II, ordered its completion. Work was supervised by architect Max Herz (Herz Miksa, Hungarian) 1856-1919, head of the Comité de Conservation des Monuments de l'Art Arabe.
Tomb: Jananiyar Hanim (Cenaniyar Hanım) d.1912), Princess consort (2nd & favourite wife) of Isma'il Pasha.
