I’m a freelance photographer and for over ten years, I have been traveling around the world with my camera. On the road, I randomly met so many people with words or messages on their clothes. They made me smile, they made me dream.

Here is a collection of pictures that I randomly took around the world, of people and their words, embroidered or printed to convey messages, affirm one’s identity or desire to be. Enjoy!

This is merch from the Being Human Foundation, a charity for the underprivileged that was founded by the Bollywood star Salman Khan. I'm sure most of you have heard of him. :D

He looks like he's reading a report on the bad guy before heading to save the day.

What a lovely face. My cousin was a Marine over there; he talked about the beauty of the people.

His shirt didn't say "we'll all be happy" in Arabic--it said "Islam will be victorious". What do think that is supposed to mean? ANYONE saying they will be "victorious" means (to me) that any and all others will have to fall. That's messed up regardless of who you are or where you're from...

I was only responding to Alex Craig's comment wondering why more people didn't like this shirt...

Interesting no likes. The word Islam and Muslim don't automatically mean terrorist. He is not an ISIS member, he is just a guy living his life.

I'd be offended with any other religion mentioned instead of Islam, this message is dumb af whatever religion it promotes.

It's interesting how the designer used the arabic script to look like english words. Those are actual arabic letters though. According to google translate it says "Islam Give a Touch Victorious"
