Hey Jonescode, these are really questions. And thanks Ali for chiming in. I'm curious, as a photographer what will be your subject? My understanding is that we must be really careful of what we film.

In ant case, hope all works out for you. I'm heading to Riyadh in August for a teaching position. Would be nice to bump into a fellow patriot.

Be well
Cheers

Hi Francii,

I'm going to start by focusing on Arabic architecture and desert landscapes. Then I plan to do some long exposure work on the infamous roadways. Feel free to check out my current work at jonescode.com. Also don't hesitate to contact me once you arrived. I'm sure I'll have a handle on a few things once I get there. We might have to say we're siblings though in order to not offend the mutawa lol

Keep in touch.
Antwan Jones
