    Kembara Nepal | Kisah Benar Langtang Aku Datang

    © 2016 Wazari Wazir | Kembara Nepal | Langtang National Park “Buat apa kat jambatan ni?” Tanya seorang pakcik yang hendak ke ladang kelapa sawit di seberang jambatan kecil ini pada isteri saya, jawab isteri, “ambil gambar.” “Buat apa ambil gambar sini, kenapa tak pergi pantai jer,” kata lelaki itu lagi, “Pergilah Bagan Lalang ke, Morib ke” tambahnya lagi. Rupanya pakcik tu adalah saudara kepada pemilik ladang kelapa sawit tu, dia datang hendak bersihkan sikit-sikit kawasan ladang ni dan menurutnya beliau, ladang kelapa sawit ni dah ada orang nak beli. So nampak gayanya mungkin dalam masa kurang 5 tahun, tiada lagi pokok kelapa sawit di sini dan jambatan kecil tempat…

    Travel And Photography | Mah Meri Tribe, Puja Pantai Ritual | Pulau Carey

    © 2016 Wazari Wazir | Members of Malaysia’s Indigenous Mah Meri Tribe Walk On The Beach During Puja Pantai Ritual Some of my photographer friends once said that we don’t have to travel outside Malaysia to get a great picture. Yes, it was true, I’ve nothing to argue, in fact we can get some good picture inside our home, or just within the boundary of our home.

We can also get world recognition by just photographing our kids close to our home, you don’t need a passport for that. Take…
