EXPLORE • DREAM • DISCOVER

My revolution for this year? reach out for the fucking sky! make every single dream happen, don't give up or give in. Period.

To speak of the great photography journey, I may not have created as many images as I did in 2010, but I did learn all through this time and I myself can feel difference comparing old images with the new ones. As 2007 was the year I was introduced to flickr, 2008, getting to work professionally with brands, getting out of the city and experiencing tourism as a photographer in 2009, upgrading photogear and joining Microstock in 2010. This year, I'd like to give a shout-out to Aaron Nace for the big improvement in my images, his photography and photoshop teaching skills totally changed how I worked on my images before!

As for Stock, I finally got paid twice this year, the biggest sale was Happy Ramadan! on GettyImages, for $570. This, and only this image, has been doing so well all year long that I finally believe on the fact that one can earn millions from just one great art!

Have an amazing year ahead. Love to all.

Hello world! such a long time since I last posted a photo. 2011 was kinda slow for me for flickr I suppose. Though I improved way more than any other year and took even more time to make images look perfect.

Last month I had a visit to Pakistan for vacation. Got back with a few images that are worth posting, not many like last year but yea... keep an eye. This image is one of them, and took about 3 hours of post-processing today.

You did put a ding in the universe!
Thanks for leading us to the future.
You will always live through your innovation.

All these days, I've been the one who couldn't shoot, couldn't design stuff, couldn't do ANYthing. My sleep cycle is all at its worse and all I do is lay down idle all day everyday. And that's how vacation is supposed to be? Well, trying really hard to change the cycle back to normal. Any ideas? Alright, to recharge at what I'm good at, thought to do this image, wasn't planned at all. So this may just expand my portfolio. The shoot took about an hour or two, PP about 9 hours. And here it is.

Was flicking via some old photos that day and stopped at the background image of this photo and instantly got what I was supposed to do with the image to make it stand out. Assisted by, assisted by Amber Khan. The image was taken in Islamabad, Pakistan last year in November. The PP took about 5 hours, yesterday. And.. there's that. =)
