    A Moment of Childhood

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | A Portrait of My Son You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing.  What!  Is it nothing to be happy?  Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long?  Never in his life will he be so busy again.

    Camera is Just a Tool

It doesn’t really matter whether I use Nikon or Canon, can you tell it by looking at the picture above without  going through my flickr page and searching for the EXIF File, you wouldn’t know which camera I use to get this picture. What am I trying to say here, what…
