sduffyphotography > Two Palestinian women at the new campus of An-Najah National University in Nablus. A concert in the outdoor amphitheater has just ended and the sun is setting.
sduffyphotography > I'm standing in front of a soap factory in downtown Nablus. A friend of my girlfriend was sending out shirts with his band's website on it for free on the condition that the recipient would take a photo of themselves wearing it somewhere. I figured there wouldn't be many submissions with martyr posters in them.
sduffyphotography > A relatively young Palestinian mother sits on the street in Nablus with her child, asking for help.
sduffyphotography > Dr. Jamal Abu-Hijleh. His wife, Shaden, was killed on October 11th, 2002. She was sitting outside her front door when an Israeli military vehicle stopped a few yards away and opened fire. The Abu-Hijleh family believes that she was targeted because she was very active in peaceful, non-violent resistance against the occupation. The incident was covered by media outlets such as the Chicago Tribune, New York Times, and the Israeli paper, Ha'aretz. Israel promised to look into the incident. To this day, no one has been held accountable for her death. You can read more about the family and Shaden's tragic death here.
sduffyphotography > One of my guides, and fellow photographer, who I call Judge, stops by a barber in Nablus for a trim of his ever-present stubble. A photo of Leonardo DiCaprio hangs loosely from the ceiling. Contradictions between traditional Arab culture and Western pop influences abound in this incredible city. Judge was, and is, an invaluable resource and great friend.

sduffyphotography > A scarf bearing the face of Yassir Arafat (also known as Abu Ammar) graces a trophy case in a sports club in Nablus. While many Palestinians acknowledge that Arafat was, at least, less than perfect, you can't help but notice the degree to which this man permeates Palestinian life. Many say this is because, despite his faults, he was responsible for bringing world attention to the plight of the Palestinian people. One friend jokingly said that if Mickey Mouse had been the first to stand up for Palestine, you would see posters of Mickey Mouse everywhere. Arafat is still deeply revered and respected throughout Palestine.
sduffyphotography > Graffiti in Ram'allah depicting Santa Claus comforting a young man at the convergence of Palestinian and Iraqi flags.
