    Portrait From Kashmir | The Mountain Man

    © 2012 Wazari Wazir | The Mountain Man of Sonamarg | Kashmir | February 2012 When Jack London had his portrait made by the noted San Francisco photographer Arnold Genthe, London began the encounter with effusive praise for the photographic art of his friend and fellow bohemian, Genthe. “You must have a wonderful camera…It must be the best camera in the world…You must show me your camera.” Genthe then used his standard studio camera to make what has since become a classic picture of Jack London. When the sitting was finished, Genthe could not contain himself: “I have read your books, Jack, and I think they are important works of…

    Travel Photography | London | Once Upon a Time

I think the old building there help  with this texture editing but I don’t know whether McDonald’s and Burger King does exist in those times. In photoshop, with the right texture and the right picture this kind of editing just work seamlessly. I really like those London classic Black Taxi there.

    London | Paddington Station | Excuse Me Sir | Can I See Your Camera?

    Kuala Lumpur | London

    © 2009 Wazari Wazir | London Syukur Alhamdulillah, akhirnya setelah 12 jam dan 20 minit dalam penerbangan saya telah selamat sampai ke Heathrow Airport London tepat jam 5:30am waktu London, masih blur-blur lagi waktu sampai di sini, maklumlah first time sampai kat sini, orang kampung sampai di Kota Raya London, semua benda nampak menarik dipandang, memang sibuk di Heathrow ni, pelbagai jenis manusia yang boleh kita jumpa di sini. Saya bukannya keseorangan di sini tapi dengan sekumpulan Media yang bertugas atas urusan rasmi untuk negara tercinta. Beban yang dipikul memang berat, tapi insyaAllah akan dilaksanakan sebaik mungkin. Lama sebenarnya kami transit di Heathrow ni, lebih kurang 12 jam, bukan takde…
