Gallery FAQ
Are the pictures downloaded from the web?
No, I have took all of the pictures and released them under a creative commons license.
Which camera do you use?
I use my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to take all of the photos.
Why don’t you use something like Instagram or Flickr?
These services do not fit my need, Instagram by Facebook is a social media platform which compresses images to a lower quality and doesn’t provide an option to download them. While Flickr started deleting pictures of non-paying users, requiring them to pay an expensive subscription1.
It makes more sense to self-host my gallery than to rely on a service that can shut down my account or delete my images at any point.
Why are faces blurred?
According to UAE laws, you need consent before taking a picture of someone. So all pictures of faces are blurred.
If you have a problem in any of the photos in my gallery, contact me via my email: me @ this domain and I’ll do my best to resolve the issue.
