so i went out shooting this weekend to try to take a few shots of landmarks ( i had kalma chowk / liberty chowk and a few buildings on main boulevard in mind ). I was surprised to see that NO street lights are on at these landmarks so i ended up taking pictures of food stalls at Liberty … tell me what you think …. (more…)
lets make this interesting can you guys name the places where these pictures were taken.
Ps. i was playing with shutter priority on my camera so if it seems like these pics are a little blurry that is intentional :P

Stumbled across some very beautiful shots of Lahore and thought it would be nice to share. You can see them on

On a side note, I have heard it is sizzling in the city and my sympathies go out to all the people who have to bear the intense heat alongside constant power cuts. I must admit I have been meaning to post my thoughts on the Pakistan Energy crisis so stay tuned to hear my views on that.
Enjoying life is as much necessary as work :)

…for Breaking News Photography, to be specific. Adrees Latif has been awarded this prestigious award for his dramatic photograph shown above, which he shot during a street demonstration in Myanmar. The photograph shows the Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai lying fatally wounded on the street, who later succumbed to his wounds. 
With the world media highlighting only negative news emanating from Pakistan. this comes as a very welcome news - not only for the fact that the photographer was a Pakistani (and a Lahori) but also for the fact that the recognition accorded to this photograph would make the world, in the words of Adrees, “remember this story long after it has disappeared from the headlines”.
A bit more about Adrees Latif from SAJAforum:
Born in Lahore, Pakistan on July 21, 1973, Adrees Latif lived in Saudi Arabia before immigrating with his family to Texas in 1980. Latif worked as a staff photographer for The Houston Post from 1993 to 1996 before joining Reuters. Latif graduated from the University of Houston in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. Latif has worked for Reuters in Houston, Los Angeles before moving to Bangkok in 2003 where he covers news across Asia.
