The Why...

Thought this would be a great New Years resolution, take a photo everyday for a year...same face, different place. I've, 'Never found the time" to be creative. Bet you've said that before about Something. Well I told myself, 'this year I'm going to achieve something that involves commitment and creativity'....hopefully the creative side gets better during the year. This will be a view into my life, even though some of it is staged...

February 23

shisha, tasty.   Hakim Abu’l-Fatḥ Gīlānī, an Iranian physician at the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar I (1542 - 1605 AD) invented the idea of the Hooka. Following the European introduction of tobacco to India, Hakim Abul Fateh Gilani moved to India where he became a physician in the court of Mughal and raised concerns after smoking tobacco became popular among Indian noblemen. He subsequently envisaged a system which allowed smoke to be passed through water in order to be 'purified'. Giving us the Hooka.
