Islamabad

Editor's Note: These photos are best viewed on a high quality display. A tablet will do better than a phone. And displays larger than 24" will provide a particularly immersive experience; as close to being 'there' as possible.

I haven't posted in a while. That's because I was in Pakistan and before that, getting ready to travel to Pakistan and after that, getting back into the flow following my return from Pakistan. The bad news is I didn't take a lot of photos this time. For various reasons (primarily laziness) I stayed in Islamabad and while I love Islamabad, it's a clean, modern and sleepy city that doesn't inspire me much. The good news is that the few times I did take out my camera, I think I did good.

So here they are, in no particular order and with no particular theme. Enjoy.

(OK so I did leave Islamabad a couple of times. Those familiar with my work know I have a long-time obsession with the Attock Fort and the Attock Khurd area. I think it's special but the rest of the roughly 250 million of my countrymen don't seem to agree or care. Oh well, their loss.)

The next two shots are my favorites. I had driven past these guys (they sit roadside looking for business) a couple of times and visualized the shot at sunset. Then one day I left my house lazily timing myself, thought I’d totally messed it up when I arrived but then as soon I started shooting: perfection

They put on a little show for us.

Only natives of Islamabad will get the next shot.
