I’ve been a rockstar since I was 8 years old.
(And I cut my own bangs, just so you know.)

My name is Yasmine. Say it like this: yahss-MEEN. I like orange sunshine and blue slurpees and flip-flops of any color, and I have an extremely low tolerance level for multiple exclamation points.
I take lots of photographs and use flickr as an exercise in practicing brevity, but the brevity part hasn’t been working out so well. This is what happens when you make friends.
I also have this thingamajig called a tumblelog, where I post links and things. It, too, is called Sweep the Sunshine, for the sake of consistency. As far as I can tell, tumblr is like fake blogging. So far, I’m using it to clean up all the firefox tabs I have open, before my browser crashes on me.
I have a tendency to call everyone “buddy,” even if we’re not buddies. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. I’m a rockstar and a rebel child, and far too easily amused for my own good, hence the weblog. My favorite subjects are stalking, stabbing, and crack.
Oh, and I love emails! Send me one.
I’m 26 27 28 30, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Northern California), and you may stalk me on a variety of instant messaging devices.
[+]
About the Website:
The Sweep The Sunshine weblog title was inspired by a collection of short stories by Hanan al-Shaykh, entitled I Sweep the Sun off Rooftops. In the collection’s title story, a mother, exasperated by her daughter’s fascination with the sun and its warmth, remarks disparagingly, “What can you do with the sun? Sweep it off rooftops?” Something like that.
The banner is from a photograph I took - one of my favorites. (For your amusement and amazement, here’s the “after” [post-autumn] version of the same tree.)
Between 2005-2007, I wrote over at SweepTheSunshine.v1.
Between 2003-2005, I was at RamblingMonologues, a name that encapsulates my approach to story-telling quite perfectly. But then I got bored with it, and used my kindergarten HTML skills to switch to sunnier spaces. As you can see, I like change. (But it also means some of my permanent-links are on crack.) All my archives are now here at the dotcom, though, so there’s no need for you to go anywhere.

You are so stylin’.

yaz, you inspire me every single day of my life. your photographs and thoughts are beautiful b/c they reflect the awesome person that you are inside. for all those people that haven’t met yaz though, trust me, she is so much cooler than you could ever imagine. rock on, rock on…

Beautiful pictures, it’s nice to meet a fellow photographer…I also love to share my photos on my blog. What camera do you use? I look forward to reading more.
4 hemlock // Apr 25, 2007 at 9:50 pm
i have always LOVED thy banner…. :)

I’m bored, so I was reading your “about me” section, and when it came to the age part, I was thinking, “No she’s not! She’s 23!” And then I realized that’s my age.
Damn, I feel old.

i love the glasses!
7 Zaty // Aug 26, 2007 at 2:26 am
Aww you sure look adorable as an 8 y/o. Pretty rockin indeed ;)

It’s funny how you can run into the people even on the net! I used to read your blog long, long ago, in 2004-05 maybe. Then over time your url went out of my mind. And today, I was searching flickr for hijab related pics (just like that) and your name kept popping up. And here I land. I’ve recently discovered a love for orange/sunshiny glows, specially toned down lighting and your flickr collection is awesome. Also share a hatred for multiple question marks! Glad to have found you again, take care, wassalam

i just stumbled on to yjour website by mistake but it’s one mistake i am happy about. i love all the pics esp. the banner. you rock.
10 Jonathan M. Adams // Oct 30, 2007 at 12:22 am
I love the titles of your posts and your photography is breathtaking
11 javig // Nov 18, 2007 at 8:35 pm
hey those chanclas (slippers or whatevertheyare) are off the hook! good to see you been stylin since 198@ when you popularized them with this classic pose!
12 ah // Dec 13, 2007 at 2:13 pm
ooh i’ve read the story you’re talking about! [note: carefully placed single exclamation mark]
it was a set reading for a course called muslim women and islamic feminism.
just thought i’d share.
13 patience // Feb 27, 2008 at 7:17 pm
ohhhh….i share your deep love for flip flops, we must be friends…
14 phish // Feb 28, 2008 at 9:09 pm
looks like an interesting place to spend time at. i hope cigarette smoke doesn’t bother you :)
15 ben // Mar 26, 2008 at 8:31 pm
long story long…a long time ago my lil sis put up a quote ‘thank god i can feel the sunshine on my bones’ and that quote makes me feel blissful and i’ve asked her were she found that quote and couldn’t even find it on google (i know…i thought everything was there). so i just went to the first page that came up- yours. and i like your writing style and dig your moves. i just think you must have such a joie de vivre that just seeps into your prose. rock on rockstar.
16 nasreen // May 5, 2008 at 3:02 pm
salam
came across your blog a couple of weeks ago. must say it’s very interesting, and i just *love* ur photography…keep rocking! :)
17 Ummabdur-rahmaan // Sep 24, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I love me some flip flops but the ones they have here in this desert are no good….they are just no good….sigh….I love the photos and I watched your 6 minute hijab wrapping video…and it took about 20 minutes to finish it because of loading issues….but I think it was pretty…I have tried many times and I am a hijab wrapping failure…oh well…..I just wear my triangle scarf and continue to pretend to be cool. Oh I also wanted to say that once there was a kid in my neighboorhood who would spend hours outside sweeping his driveway…..it was his punishment…his father would make him sweep the sun off the sidewalk….He was also made to count the blades of grass from time to time….
18 anisa // Jun 7, 2009 at 7:35 am
