    Travel and Photography | My Camera Equipment When Traveling

    © 2012 Wazari Wazir | Once Upon a Time at Dal Lake Kashmir First of all I’m not a rich man, and actually I’m not a travel photographer, I think the right words to use is I’m a photographer who like to travel. I don’t make money selling my travel photography pictures. A camera for me is just a tool to visually record my journey while traveling, I’ve no intention at the moment to sell my pictures but if someone wanted to buy my photographs, I’ve no problem selling it but I did not take the photograph to make money on the first place. Now you know that my camera…

    Travel Photography | Why You Should Visit Kashmir in Winter

    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. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.” – Henry David Thoreau – Tweet news and informationbusiness,health,entertainment,technology automotive,business,crime,health,life,politics,science,technology,travel

    Travel Photography | Children of Himalaya | Kashmir

    © 2012 Wazari Wazir | Kashmiri Children Wearing a Phiren (The Kashmiri Cloak)  | Photograph Taken With 24mm Prime Lens To some people this photograph is messy, cluttered with messy background but to me each and everything in this photograph give context to the photograph, they tell the real story about the subject, photographers usually called this an environmental portrait because it does not only shows the person in the photographs, they also tell where this picture is taking, the mountain and the snow shows that this photograph were taken during cold winter. During my recent visit to Kashmir on February 2012, I take a lot of environmental portrait more…
