!shtiaQ Ahmed's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

Personally, I know of no more profound moments than those when all other thoughts slip away and you are left with a pure sense of your own "being" in the world. I find these moments of real insight come most often when I am in nature, disconnected from the many layers of artifice we have constructed around us.

I am just what I wanted to be, the way I wanted to be.

"I just love seeing things through his eyes.....

Wandering Sagebrush (on the road again) says:

"I learned about Ishtiaq through a common Flickr friend who told me that I should pay attention to this guy in Pakistan, as his photography was outstanding. I started watching Ishtiaq's photostream and found that not only is he a fantastic photographer, but he is also a wonderful ambassador for the country and people of Pakistan. Through his art, I have learned much about the culture of Ishtiaq's country, and I find much beauty there.

I greatly enjoy the friendship that I have found with this amazing person from so distant a land."

"Ishtiaq Ahmed is an amazing and talented artist. He uses his talent with both beautiful words and breath-taking photography to express many important concepts, to share the culture around him and to virtually take us all on a journey to places we may otherwise not have the privilege to visit. I am very thankful to have found him here on flickr and for the joy of following his journey."
