While in Dubai earlier this month, Shushu, Aseel, and I were given a special mini tour around The Dubai Mall with the fabulous Sara G. (link) Another mini exhibition managed to stop by was HIPA – Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Awards (link)

Sara was nice enough to brief us about HIPA, an initiative to encourage talented photographers from all around through a competition. The exhibition was showcasing different pictures taken by different people in different locations around the world with different scenery in each picture… I strongly believe that a picture is worth a thousand words… so let the pictures speak to you through my virtual tour 😉 Let’s all take a look in together… shall we?

Now check this one out… The reflection of Burj Khalifa on water and pebbles

It is by Mohammed AlSultan from Kuwait 😉 Who won Category 3 (Dubai) – 2nd Prize! I am so proud of him 😀

Now moving on to the other side of the exhibition… Pictures by Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Amazing collection of pictures… wild life/animals from all over the place! His pictures are amazing! Very expressive

Rich in texture and vibrant colors too… sense of movements in some, still in others

Poor jerboa!

Poor duck!!

Really a great initiative! I liked it 😉
