Lumpen Orientalism gathers the fragments of a lost civilization, the decaying parts of a breathing animal _ the Middle East. Named after a term suggested by China Miéville, Lumpen Orientalism captures an anomalous fascination with the Middle East and Asia in a similar way to the mongrel visions of Gilles Deleuze, H. P. Lovecraft, Gaëtan Clérambault and William Beckford in order to tackle this enigmatic monstrosity.

You have the most amazing eye for composition. I love the way the light plays in this one, and the way the clothes contrast against the patterns of the roof. Wonderful ...
Thank you for your kind words.
It is an amazing shot. You do indeed have great talent. I've been enjoying your photos for a couple of months now. Thank you.
