Once Upon a Time In The Himalaya | Adventure is Out There
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Trekkers and Porters at Langtang National Park | Nepal Himalaya “So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.

Travel Photography | The Rungus People Of Sabah | Malaysia North Borneo
© 2013 Wazari Wazir | The Rungus People of Sabah | Malaysia North Borneo The Rungus are an ethnic group of Borneo, residing primarily in northern Sabah in the area surrounding Kudat.

Once Upon a Time in Kashmir | It’s The Journey That’s Matter
© 2013 Wazari Wazir | Floating Vegetable Market | Dal Lake | Kashmir The Journey “Journey are gifts we give ourselves. Even if you are lucky, and have someone else footing the bill for your journey, you are still giving yourself a gift just by going. Too many people have opportunities to travel, but choose to stay home, fearful of the unknown, shackled by their everyday rut, tied down to commitments that don’t have to tie them down if they would seek creative solutions.

Family Photography | Having Fun at The Park
© 2013 Wazari Wazir | My Family at The Park The blog title might be quite misleading to you. We don’t really having fun, don’t you think so? Well, it is not always easy to get a picture of my family together, HaiQal and Raphael each has its own mind. Always wanted to be on their own. We were struggling to get a nice family portrait photography but this is among “not so good” looking pictures that I manage to take. I still took a lot of photograph of my family but one of the reason on why you seldom see it here is because, you know why… 🙂 Tweet…
