Earlier this year, I started the American Muslim Experience Project: Community Profile. My hope and goals was to photograph and interview some individuals of the Muslim community here. It’s a bit of an experiment and the audio takes are raw and mostly unedited. This interview was done with Dr. Abdullah Ghandhistani, author of Standard English Grammar and Composition. This is the first part of the interview, approximately one hour in length. Stay tuned for the second part shortly.
