My nephew Faizi is always fun to shoot. This time I was just having chit chat with him while I recorded it. Later on, after watching it again, I realized it was so much fun.

A poem for you

Daisies in the spring

young ones are innocent
like daisies in the spring

old ones are tainted
like roadside snow in the winter

why do old ones seek to be young?
do they wish for the vitality
the flexibility they once had?

no

they are searching for something deeper
something much harder to attain
they want the innocence
the innocence of daisies in the spring

I photographed this on my cousin Ammar Yasir’s Wedding. It was a fun being there with my little Faizi.

I am home for the weekend, elections are taking place. I am not interested in voting. Who wants to vote in a place where everybody is looking for his/ her personal achievements and nobody cares about the country and the nation. So I am not interested in voting. I just heard that 2 people have been killed in a panic at a Polling station in Mansehra.

I wish for my people that they  realize whats happening to them. I ask you guys whether you can name a person who has done some good for his/ her people?

It seems like its all a football game where politicians are like players and people like football. Go Musharaf Go!

I took this photograph is Nov 2007 while I just went for a walk down the narrow path on the meadow besides my place in Mansehra

OK

Lets use this poem for description
Come to the sunset tree!
The day is past and gone;
The woodman’s axe lies free,
And the reaper’s work is done;
The twilight star to heaven,
And the summer dew to flowers,
And rest to us is given
By the cool, soft evening hours.
- Mrs. Felicia D. Hemans
