Look through my Life

Look through my Life by Edge of Space.
Rawalpindi Saddar. Shot early this month. And I felt so annoyed by the flirtatious electric cables roaming all over the place, I had to document this. The cars, people and rickshaws are there to signify the life's moving despite such shameful and degrading environment to live in. It's not just Rawalpindi that exhibits such depravity of conscience and administrative bankruptcy but is prevalent in almost every city of Pakistan. The years of silence against corrupt administration and a degraded self-lowering behavior has led to complete acceptance of every immoral and bad thing in the society.

What you are saying is NOT represented by the picture in a true sence. The street look clean , the road is shining, and the electric wire are few compare to one gunjal you see in Dhok Khaba.

Any how pictue is very pakistani.

I like to hear what you feel about these places because they are so foreign to me and I wonder what is happening on the other side of the world and what you feel when you live your life. I like the way you took this picture too. It reminds me of the 70's in Alberta.

It looks scary to me...those cables look like they could fall any minute and the mix of people and cars on a road that is too narrow makes me very nervous.

Nice shot and comments....................cables are scary but people living there don't know any better. Those who know better, don't want to live there or fix the problem.

it's an amazing picture... i don't think the wiring is the face of corruption as your putting it.. it's just a lack of care... or lack of planning which is very commonly seen in our country. They fail to plan out the wiring system. Illegal connections made etc... then old wires left dangling... and that the general public are just not bothered about it...

Indeed, u shot it with another perspective, but its the picture that caught my attention the most on this page- rustic, busy, true to the core.
