    It was in the book arabian sands. I'll have to read back through it and find it! Are you familiar with thesiger? He was actually an accomplished photog also. I see similarities in your portrait work with his.

    No i never heard about him. will search for him.

    oh ok. May be a different place than I'm thinking, although thesiger did travel all through that area too. I spent some time in pakistan while i was in the navy.

    These shots are truly amazing. Love the fort, but also love your photojournalistic approach to the series. It gives me a glimpse of what it really looks like there beyond "just pretty" shots.

    This is what makes the internet so cool! Having my mobility severly impaired due to a broken foot, I get to travel virtually on my PC :ivar.

    Thanks for posting!

    That was a WOW for me. I loved looking at these photos. Nice work Awais.

    Do you have more? I would love to see details from inside the forts.

    I must go back now and look at them a few more times.

    Hehe thanks Ron. I am glad you found them interesting but unfortunately when i reached there i came to know i had to take permission to go inside, and i was running out of time. Btw it is all ruined from inside too. But i will go there back some day.
