    Photography | The Photographer Blog | Blogging

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | The Photographer Blog | Blogging I wanted to write about blogging here especially for photographers, I know photographers are better at telling their stories visually, through picture rather than through written words, that’s the job of journalist or writers but I think sometimes a picture alone  doesn’t tell the story clearly or precisely.

I’ve met a lot of great photographers, usually when on assignment where…

    Photography | Expressive Blur

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Marching at Parliament House | Kuala Lumpur “It is important to remember that there is nothing inherently “wrong” or “bad” about a blurry or soft image. There are those in photography who cherish critical sharpness as if it was a virtue in itself. Anything short of a tack-sharp picture will produce a deletion. Many beginning photographers are convinced that a blurred image is somehow inferior to a sharp image, and will instinctively strive for sharpness alone as a virtue. Such attitudes can be counter productive when it comes to expression. Images that are brilliantly frozen in time and pictures that extend time and imply motion…
