    Telling Stories With a Photograph | A Conversation With Mother

    © 2011 Wazari Wazir | A Conversation With Mother at Kinokuniya Bookstore I personally think that the basis of a photography is to tell a story with a photograph, that’s why they called it a Photograph Worth a Thousand Words.

I…
