Travel and Photography | Low Light Photography in Kathmandu
© 2014 Wazari Wazir | Devotees Light a Candles in Boudhanath Stupa | Kathmandu “Not a day goes by without a few hours of power cuts. Load shedding has now become a perennial problem and it is here to stay.” – Prasiddha Upadhaya, Hydropower Developer – Despite Nepal’s huge hydropower potential and more than half a century of experience starting with the Pharping hydro plant in 1911, to date, less than 1% of Nepal’s hydro-power resources have been tapped. Furthermore, no significant effort has been exerted in tapping other energy sources. Crippled with power shortage, Himalayan country Nepal imposes extra hour of mandatory power cut. The situation is going to further…

Travel and Photography | Life is a Journey, Not a Destination
© 2014 Wazari Wazir | Sunrise at Sarangkot | Pokhara | Nepal | Annapurna Range “To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel.

Travel Photography | Bhaktapur at Night | Why You Don’t Need Flash Here?
© 2014 Wazari Wazir | Night Activity at Bhaktapur | Bhairabnath Temple | Taumadhi Tole Square Bhaktapur | Nepal | 50 mm | ISO 2500 The photograph above were taken at Bhaktapur, just after the sunset.

Travel and Photography | The Photographers and The Himalayas | Pokhara Nepal
© 2014 Wazari Wazir | The Photographers and The Himalayas | Sunrise at Pokhara Nepal “Photography is a funny thing. It is a way to capture a moment, explore the world, create art and tell a story. Its beauty lies in the feelings it conveys to the viewer, which can differ vastly from person to person. Yet a camera cannot truly capture all the human eye can see; the subtle changes of light, shades of colour and depth of our view can never be fully realised in a frame. And still, there is a beauty and magnificence that a single image can convey that is beyond description. It is a…
