Photographs of people and place
Return to Damascus is my new book of photographs, available for order, that preserves fleeting impressions and the spirit of a place through the lens. Accompanied by brief reflections and memories, the photographs offer a tribute to the place and its people, focusing on enduring character and the subtle interplay of light, architecture, and tradition. Return to Damascus is a quiet celebration of observation and memory, inviting viewers to participate.

| How Many Roads? is a book of photographs by Jonathan Sa'adah, available for order, offering an unglossy but deeply human view of the period from 1968 to 1975 in richly detailed, observant images that have poignant resonance with the present. Ninety-one sepia photographs reproduced with an introduction by Teju Cole, essays by Beth Adams, Hoyt Alverson, and Steven Tozer, and a preface by the photographer. | |

Thank you for sharing your photos with the very interesting captions. I’m beginning to feel I’ve visited Mexico City. I particularly love the lighting in your photos
Thank you for all the work you did on researching and writing the captions to go with these great photographs — I learned a lot!
This is really beautiful work, and it makes me really want to visit Mexico City someday. Bravo!
Wow! What a visual feast! And an overflow of architectural riches. Love the various museums and churches (and cathedral doors from 1688!). Also the library is stunning–at least the way you photograph it. And the post office! Makes me sad that postal service is deteriorating in so many countries, including our own.
It was so generous of you not just showing us your beautiful pictures but also taking the time to give us context and information through the captions. Thank you so much for the troubles you took to find out how this works. It is very much appreciated! Mexico City looks quite the vivid architectural manifestation of history.
My favourite picture is the one from inside of the main post office though. Probably because your caption to it evoked a short film in my head with scenes of this place full of people sending letters.
Doing those captions was an experiment Magda, but I did learn things too. Some pictures don’t need any words but I thought overall adding detailed captions was worth it. It does add a lot of work though! Thanks for letting me know you liked them.
