"Dear friends, brothers, and sisters at Photrio,

I am deeply moved by your warm welcome. Reading your messages—from those who welcomed me back to the light, to those who quoted Dickens—has truly 'recalled me to life.' Your kindness is the best welcome home I could have imagined.

I want to share a brief update with you. While my spirit is free, I face a new challenge: my photography lab was looted and most of my equipment was stolen while I was away. Thankfully, most of my chemical stocks are safe, but it will take considerable time and resources to rebuild my workspace.

However, a photographer’s eye never stops seeing. If Sean and Koraks allow, I would love to contribute to the 'Humanitarian' or 'Off-topic' section. I have many scenes and observations from my time in prison that I wished I could have captured with my camera. Since I wasn't allowed a lens there, I will try to develop these 'images' with words for you.

On a side note, I was wondering about Engineer Rudolf from Austria? I truly hope he is doing well.

Thank you for believing in me. I hope to be worthy of your trust.

Best regards, Mohmad"
