Shame on QTV ARY

Well i would have used harsh words but the name of channel don't permit to do that. QTV or Quran TV stole one of my pictures for promos of their show aired during Sehri "Bazm-e-Sehar"

It is even shameful because QTV is part of largest media networks in Pakistan ARY, i am surprised they are spreading message of Islam by doing this silly stuff, this is not 1st time artist usually are found complaining about this sick attitude of media channels and newspapers in Pakistan.

Here is original

Now people should know why i heavily watermark my photos. Unfortunately i shot this picture few years back and uploaded this one without watermark.

Power Crises in Pakistan

Pakistan is facing swear power crises, industry to household everyone is facing huge problem! I hope politicians and Generals had managed and used this country properly. Situation is worse in small cities and villages in Pakistan. I live in Heart of Islamabad for the past 13 years power failures due to old and damaged wires are regular here and no one takes notice even after complains ! It seems like power crises are due to corruption and mismanagement....

Pakistan Changing ?

Surprised to sale an image to Government Organization ! It is huge sign of change, mostly government and private organization usually don't bother about purchasing images rather they prefer violating copyrights ruthlessly. I hope they will keep fashion of purchasing images alive so people like me can do better and better job ;-) . Ofcourse this happened because of so many things i have learned in MBA course ! they work magic !!!

Chiniot Mosque the marvel of Islamic Architecture

If you ever got chance to visit Faisalabad do visit Chiniot that is known for it's wooden furniture. Apart from wooden furniture city's 400 years old "Shahi Mosque". It is not large as other ancient mosques in Pakistan but carvings and architecture are splendid.

To approach Chiniot catch "Sargodah Road" from faisalabad and traveling around 35 km takes you to chiniot and ask anyone about the Shahi mosque. Apart from Shahi mosque there is beautiful Omar Hayat Palace (that will be my next blog entery).

For photographers

No restriction for taking picture. Get ready to face lots of dust. And do have some bananas of chiniot full of taste.

And here are my takes of the mosque. Click here for full gallery and large size of images

Be part of History

Hello viewers I am seriously thinking to make a history.

Think about times 500 years ago soon future will turn into past we all will die century over century will pass. All that will be left are memories which we will leave behind. How we can preserve these memories? Yes by taking a pictures and save them online somewhere like I do at SmugMug.What I am going to do requires your help! It is huge lifelong project that will start from Pakistan. I am planning to document whole city after city in ultra high resolution pictures that will be uploaded to my website and few other places to make sure secure storage for coming centuries. Picture will be accessible by general public for viewing.

Just imagine people looking at centuries old photographs! What feeling they will get and what contribution to history it would be. And of course you and I will be the people behind the effort.

For this I am looking for good Sponsor(s) even individual help is accepted.Contact me in following ways
