Life is a Journey | Adventure is Out There
© 2009 Wazari Wazir | Once Upon a Time in London “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. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure.

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?

Family Photography | A Moment to Remember
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | My Family Having a Great Time at KLCC Park | 50mm | f/1.8 | 1/2000 | ISO 200 “If these picture have anything important to say to future generations, it’s this – I was here, existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture” – Robin Williams – (One Hour Photo Movie) Sometimes we have to make a photograph instead of take the photograph. Taking an picture is shooting a photo as a reaction, without any preparation, while making a photograph is a process. In this case, I’m making a photograph where I try…

Travel Photography | Don’t Forget Self Portraits
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Once Upon a Time in Istanbul I’m not a travel photographer but I’m a photographer who like to travel a lot. Normally as photographers, we often forget to put ourselves in front of the camera. Most of times I travel with my friends and most of them are also like to take pictures, so even though we travel together, our interest is not the same, I mean I maybe like certain places or angle and my friends like to go to some other places and we end up walking alone when we reach a certain location. For an example while traveling to Istanbul recently, when…
