    The Photographer | The Coronation of Sultan of Johor | Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar

    © 2015 Wazari Wazir | A Group Photograph of Department of Information Malaysia Photographers With Director of The Royal Abu Bakar Museum in Johor Bahru A little bit busy these past few weeks, hence no new update, I was in Johor Bahru for the Coronation of Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar. It is a historical event because the last time people in Johor Bahru witnesses this event is in 1960 during the Coronation of the late Sultan Ismail Sultan Abu Bakar which is 55 years ago.

    Travel | Preparing For Trans-Siberian Railway Journey

    Planning for the Trans-Siberian Railway trip can be quite challenging but where there is a will there is a way some people said. Yes it’s true that it can be quite challenging sometimes but it can be done. You just need to follow through, never give up. With little bit research here and there, you’re done. Anyway I’m not planning to write an in depth on “how to” plan for Trans-Siberian Railway because I believe there are thousand of them have been written already, more or less are almost the same and I had been reading quite a lot of blogs post about Trans-Siberian few years before planning this trip…

    Solitude | Once Upon a Time in China Town | Kuala Lumpur

    © 2015 Wazari Wazir | Solitude in China Town “I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company.” – Hery Miller – “The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude.

    Family Trip To Singapore With Fujifilm X100T Mirrorless Camera

    © 2015 Wazari Wazir | Family Trip To Singapore | Marina Bay | One Fullerton This is my first family trip using a mirrorless camera, which is Fujifilm X100T, after this maybe I won’t be traveling with my family with heavy DSLR, I like the simplicity of my Fujifilm camera. Yes, undoubtedly in term of great detail, I still think my older Canon 5D Mark II has plenty of details captured but then again what I’m getting from X100T is more than good enough, after all, it is just a family picture and good enough to be printed for a photobook and I don’t think I need A3 size photobook…
