Men drape themselves in two white sheets, and women wear any loose-fitting clothing. The sheets are symbolic of the physical and spiritual purity of the state of ihram. Upon arriving in Mecca at The Grand Mosque (Masjid al-Haram), pilgrims usually complete the tawaf, or walk seven times around the Kaaba while praying. As with any mosque, shoes are not permitted inside the Mosque. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1499797617428-W6JMBUYDCVY94GE6V8NS/Point+small.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1500128435880-60KOI8U77IMQ1PBQXWL9/DSC_6253.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1500128042761-QXRCVMNNB54OZICI7P8H/DSC_6546.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1523217836816-AC5R30OLEM379HWAGZV9/DSC_0062.jpg Collections West of the Mojave National Preserve in Southern California, Amboy pops up along Rt 66. This abandoned town had its heyday in the late 1920's when Rt 66 first opened. After Interstate 40 opened in 1973 bypassing Rt 66, the town's usefulness and popularity rapidly declined. Amboy was once listed for sale on eBay, and is currently owned by a fast food chain founder. Roy's Motel and Cafe was first opened in 1938 and served as the town's main attraction. Today, its gas station is closed, and its cafe has been converted to a small gift shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1532224220726-3H0FO7IOI9DMDXHDCE39/DSC_0224.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1543725064799-J8824UDPSZ1RAT7TW22N/DSC_1454.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1612739927352-VPHRG6Z2OQ6Q7PMYF0GQ/DSC_8189.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1612740298469-O7HMW6JHV18B0Y1LMAVL/DSC_2659.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1612740940703-B5XWSATW6WMFNCIM90PC/DSC_3536.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1704317087887-6QEWSV8PYLG7CXT37CSX/Z62_4094.jpg Collections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1717615584978-F3W22MSEPUALDZ4MDPWM/8-Z62_2241.jpg Collections http://www.yousufzafar.com/blog daily 0.75 2017-08-04 http://www.yousufzafar.com/blog/2017/8/4/the-wave monthly 0.5 2017-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1501862240407-O0EROFJFU1EZW6D9OW5S/IMG_9292.JPG Blog - The Wave http://www.yousufzafar.com/blog/2017/5/26/photography-as-response monthly 0.5 2017-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1495828143984-SSFYDYFCKHZMGNULW2S0/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Photography as Response Rites of Hajj, 2011 http://www.yousufzafar.com/blog/2017/3/15/nuns-in-yangon monthly 0.5 2017-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1489599917880-NKOJKT4FMIHGZTVJ6CEL/IMG_8446.JPG Blog - Nuns in Yangon http://www.yousufzafar.com/blog/2017/2/8/ticka-arts monthly 0.5 2017-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1486611229596-I35WC8EHYDNMUFPN4IEW/image-asset.png Blog - Ticka Arts http://www.yousufzafar.com/blog/2017/1/2/lensculture-best-of-2016 monthly 0.5 2017-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569c5299b20943556a920e47/1483362786479-O0DD512JI8W3DR7T72ZJ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - LensCulture Best of 2016!
