The Travel Photographer | Once Upon a Time in Langtang Valley | Nepal
© 2012 Ahmad Shukri | Photograph of Me at Langtang Valley | Langtang National Park | Nepal “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” – Mark Twain – I travel a lot and as a photographer, even though I took thousand of photos from my trip, very few of them have “my picture”, most of the times, it is about other people pictures, a stranger that I met along the way or just simple a…

Travel Photography | Once Upon a Time in Kashmir | Sonamarg in Winter
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Sonamarg | Kashmir in Winter “The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.

There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” ( Jawaharlal Nehru ) I really wish I have more time to spent here in Agra, I wish I have more time to play around with this lovely kids around this small alley, India is not all about Taj Mahal, it’s a about life, we can see a big gap between the fortunate and the unfortunate people here. Traveling really is about bridging the gap between humanity, to…
