Abu Halen is both a photographer and a writer yet magnanimously accepts no money from either venture. This is mostly because no one offers it, but still. Wisely, Abu Halen maintains a day job.

He has lived for more than a decade in the Middle East, Latin America, and India with his plucky family of four children, one spouse, and, most recently, a small Havanese dog named Che, who cares not where he lives so long as there are birds to bark at.

Abu Halen loves seeing the world, trying to wrap his head around the lessons it teaches, and sharing stories about it all through both images and words. Settle in, come along, and enjoy the ride!
