During the Egyptian revolution I was a medic, but I knew being a physician would only be a job for me and never my passion. I was not a photographer at that time, but I witnessed many stories on the front line of the revolution as they happened, in real time. What I witnessed was strong enough to move me, to make me see what millions in my country were not able to see. For me, photography is deeply associated with the Egyptian Revolution. It taught me how be truthful and, if photography isn’t the truth, I believe we are facing an awful disaster.
