© 2014 Wazari Wazir | Beautiful Moscow Metro Stations | All Photographs Taken With Fujifilm X100T The Moscow Metro dates back to 1931, when its construction began, although engineers Pyotr Balinsky and Evgeny Knorre submitted their first designs to the Moscow City Duma as far back as 1902.

Photojournalism | The Politicians at The Parliament
© 2015 Wazari Wazir | The Politicians at The Parliament While browsing through The Bigger Picture book by Diana Walker , a White House Photographer for TIME magazine, I really feel inspired and at the same time felt jealous about the photograph that she took, her subject look so relax and so casual.
