Hi Sana and thanks.

These images are from a few of the camps, I'm working on covering all the camps in Lebanon (at least the official camps).
In some of the camps, even Lebanese photographers aren't allowed in without permission from the Lebanese army, but some of the camps aren't being "guarded" by the army so anyone can really walk in. Just make sure you're accompanied by someone from the camp if you want to take photos, and even with that most people in the camps will refuse to have their photo taken.

Great pictures! Which camp

Great pictures! Which camp was that?
Or is it a meltin' pot of many?
For Info: Foreigners cannot visit Palestinian camps without permission pass or without being accompanied by a Lebanese citizen (especially when taking photos, even journalists).

Hi Andy, who arrested you?

Hi Andy, who arrested you? It's tough photographing in the camps, and almost impossible unless you know people in the camps.

awesome, thanks for sharing
