The International Loupe Awards consists of eight open categories and three amateur categories. Amateur categories are not open to professional photographers, but the open categories are for everyone with a camera.
Winners of the prestigious prizes were chosen by 25 judges, from nine countries worldwide.
I’m very happy that ‘the woman and the chicken‘ made it through a very heavy selection, thanks to the Judges, to me this means a lot, as it feels great that the hard work i put in gets acknowledged and appreciated.

This is personal work which i need to do not only for myself but also for my family in Egypt. This is work in progress.
As my family in Egypt lost , in an instant, a son, hit by a drunk driver in Cairo.
Me and my husband went over to Egypt to support them and attend the “40th day” a day of remembrance.
The 40th day is a big ceremony in the Coptic Church in Nag Hamadi and this is the day that the mother will visit the grave for the first time…as she did not go to his burial.
The last few days i had some more time to work on older work and wanted to finish this before i head off again, which is to Gujarat, India in about 10 days.
This is a Corroboree which was held in October 2011, close to my hometown, but a very important Ceremony as me and many others do not want this gas Hub close to our town, which will destroy this unique place where we live in, which is called The Kimberley.
