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.
Here is small example of what i am thinking
For this I am looking for good Sponsor(s) even individual help is accepted.

What a great picture what a stupid watermark
Hello readers, admirerers, viewers, crtics, and theives. Yes that is true theives are everywhere. I get numerous emails about the new stupid looking watermarks that i have introduced on my photos personally i also don’t like them but i am learning to live with them.
As television and advertising industries are growing in Pakistan like hell, they have become one of the most profitable business in Pakistan. But in same time they are not following ethics they don’t show mercy stealing photos from internet. This has been observed incase of Geo, Ary, Vibe and Warid yes top business tycoons in Pakistan are stealing images for their advertisment and promos not to mention small advertising agencies here.
So to avoid any photo theft i have to watermark and downsize my photos this might be the reason i am bit safe from thieves to my knowledge.
I hope regulating authorities protect artists like me from thieves. Once a picture gets stolen and used in adverts or promo it becomes useless asset of the artist, he cannot sale it to anyone as corporates or companies require unpublished photos for their themes. If artist don’t sale his work he cannot expand in terms of equipment, creativity and of course he cannot earn his livings from the art ultimately artist has to leave the art even he don’t want to do so. This might be one of the reasons of downfall of art from Pakistan. Despite of making profit it is shame big companies exploit right of artist.
So kindly reject such theives in interest of arts in Pakistan.
I love to be in crowded place full of life. Rawalpindi is lively for its people and rich architecture of old times. Beautiful mensions havelis and mosques are gift of history to Rawalpindi. All i can say is that this beautiful architecture is in danger. Here are fraction of what actually is there.

Finally after 2 months canon Pakistan has delivered me 17-40 f4 L lens. It is wide lens on full frame bodies and standard range on crop bodies. In Pakistan it goes for around 53,000 Rs after dollar hike !. Filter and hood is in its way to me. Photography has become very expensive passion ! but craze never ends it is like having a beer.
It is exceptional in all ways. Built like a tank, smooth operations, quiet focusing, accurate and fast focus.
Image quality is Amazing sharp contrasty .
