Adventure Travel Photography | Once Upon a Time in Himalaya | Langtang National Park | Nepal
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Photograph of Me by Ahmad Shukri | Somewhere in Langtang Valley | Nepal “When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” – Ansel Adams – “I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.” – Harry Callahan – “A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed, and is, thereby, a true manifestation of what one feels about life in its…

Why Travel? | Life is a Journey | Once Upon a Time in Kashmir
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Once Upon a Time in Kashmir | Dal Lake Kashmir “People from all over the world have passed through this village, son,” said his father. “They come in search of new things, but when they leave they are basically the same people they were when they arrived. They climb the mountain to see the castle, and they wind up thinking that the past was better than what we have now.

Nothing Wrong With Snapshot | It’s The Moment That Matters
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | My Son Raphael Crying at His Great-grandfather House | Kuala Penyu Sabah “A Perfect Photo That is Empty of Any Feeling Will Never Equal a Blurred Photo Full of Emotion.” – Olivier Föllmi – I’ve written about making a photograph and taking a photograph lately, so the picture above falls on “Taking a Photograph” category, Why?

Adventure is Out There | Why Travel?
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Once Upon a Time in Kashmir Why? “‘Why do you do it?’ friends often ask, perplexed, Brows raised, minds sorely vexed. ‘The world out there is dangerous! Aren’t you scared? Why do this? You need steady work, a house, two cars! You have only a motorbike, and sleep under stars!’ Dear friend, if you must ask, you cannot know This curiosity that drives me so. To you it is hidden; in me rises unbidden! But one day the world I’ll have ridden By iron steed, then perhaps this need Will have vanished, finally vanquished! That day will find me on deathbed, With no regrets for…
