The LA Camera Store "theft" lives rent-free in my mind. He took it, right!?

Did anyone else lose their Youtube Premium? Or I should say my family members lost access. Come on Youtube, this is such greed.

Here's how photographers and other creatives can borrow from Beyonce's audacious box attempt. walidazami.substack.com/p/be… #Beyonce #photography

2025 was a year I promised that I would stop hiding my own story (or promised to) stop hiding it. Since I believe most New Years resolutions are destined for failure, I wanted to start this promise to myself in 2025. walidazami.substack.com/p/a-…

Sometimes I randomly post images online so that if a hard drive fails later, I can grab it from online as a last resort. This is that. Me photographing Jennifer Lopez on her last day before the tour started.

I photographed the cover of Vanity Fair Italia. This is a HUGE magazine and I'd like to share some insight with other photographers. I hope this helps you.

Can you share this as a favor to your friend (and me) because it can help others.
