    HaiQal | The Next Photographer

    As usual I was a little bit late to update my blog, this past few week I was quite busy with my Mini Photoshop Workshops for a small group of people. The reason Why I do my Mini Photoshop Workshops is because some people just could not make it into my Official Photoshop Workshop due to time factor and also location. So to those people who have problem about “Time and Location” I suggest to them to email me and let me know when is possible for them to attend my workshops and that is when the idea of Mini Photoshop Workshops start.

    HaiQal | Expressive Portraiture

    Expression is something that make a portrait. Expression shows an individual his or her character or personality, expression can add mood to a picture, tears, smile, moody, bored, joy, all this kind of expression doesn’t need words to explain.

    © 2009 Wazari Wazir | A Portrait This is the result when I can’t decide which version to upload, most of the times when I do my editing I will also make black and white from any picture, just to know whether any particular picture will look good or not in monotone and most of the times too, both version are perfect to my satisfaction and yet very hard for me to pick one of them. I love texture and will always play with them, never get tired of it. At the beginning I’m not so good at it and when I see a beautiful texture picture on flickr, I…

Very colorful event and what I like most about covering this historical event is that “The Man In Uniform”…

    Pakistan | Shattered Dream

    I’ve always wanted to visit Pakistan, a beautiful country but at the same time also a complicated country, always have something coming out from this country. I don’t want to make a long story, just to cut the story short, my dream to visit Pakistan is just a dream, I don’t get the Visa, after numerous times to Pakistan Embassy here in Kuala Lumpur, they just told me to wait, they still need to get an approval from Islamabad. My flight to Karachi is on the 11th this month but unfortunately my ticket is useless. Few years back I made a contact with my flickr friend in Pakistan, mostly from…
