Its all because of dgriners and SmugMug, that my one more dream came true :wink :wink

    That is fantastic news!
    Many congratulations, not just for the photographs but also the article. I love what you said about "policy makers should realize photographers are ambassador's of Pakistan Culture" (in response to some of the photography banning in certain places). You are that indeed. I mentioned in one of your large Pakistan photos under "Journeys" that you have opened my eyes about Pakistan and it is not what I thought it was, at least how the regular media portrays it, war stricken, ravaged, dusty--It is a beautiful country, so thank you for that.

    PS--Loved seeing that photo of the little girl, you had posted her on dgrin before, great to see the same picture make it into the magazine.clap.gif

    Thank you lizz, i thought no one will notice that, but here we go. I hope it will bring some change. Pakistan is extremely different country than what Media or our elite portray !
    It is interesting that people even forget K2 is in Pakistan, of course it is not standing in a desert :D I am still looking forward to travel more deep in Pakistan. I wish to bring more and better photos of Pakistan in future. :ivar :ivar

    Awaisthumb.gifclap.gifthumb.gifclap.gifthumb.gifclap thumb.gif Well deserved recognition. I have always appreciated your work and subjects. It is funny I started noticing your posts shortly after joining DGRIN and reading Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. My Pakistan curiosity was raised by both of you.
    Keep up the good works.
    Peace be with you

    Thanks Brad and Chris, Three Cup of Tea i have heard a lot about it will borrow it from cusin and read it. I still have to travel to more beautiful and diverse places of Pakistan. Will continue my journeys next year as i will be free from my MBA degree which don't allow me to travel regularly rolleyes1.gif

    I'm not the least bit surprised by this. I've always thought your work is exceptional and powerful, and I've had a link to your website in my browser favorites since the first time I saw your great photos.

    I quess all I can do now is join the rest of the Happy Clappers above.

    Congratulations !! - clap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif
