On the eve of my trip to Australia, I got the hankering to supplement my poor, fuzzy memory. What better way than with a bunch of poor, fuzzy pictures? I bought my first SLR and a book on how to use it (The Joy of Photography), read it on the 23+ hours of plane travel from Virginia to Sydney, and the rest is history. Since then, I've been taking bad pictures everywhere I go. If you (for whatever reason) really like any of these pictures, I do have much higher resolution versions available. Contact me for details, at nadim A.T. nakhleh DOT net.

Note: The non-linked archives currently exist as shoeboxes of negatives and prints. Scanning takes time (lots of it), so please be patient (and check back frequently) as I bring the rest of the photo galleries online.

Some of the scripts that I used to generate these galleries and modify these images are available on my scripts page. Check them out if you're interested.
