For the past week, I've been struggling to put into words the thoughts that have been flying around my head, thoughts that have popped up reading reports on the deteriorating situation, the riots, seeing this country described as a "failed state" and a "pre-9/11 Afghanistan". All the while, my head is screaming from the negativity I see. I have tried to write how the Pakistan seen in the media is not accurate, to explain the riots and the reactions to the assassination, but the words just don't come out right.
So I'm going to show the other side of Pakistan, the Pakistan I am growing to love, through the lens of my camera.

This is Pakistan, not the one you see in the news.
Great photos!
hey mate, fantastic photos, you certainly have a knack for it. Hanging out in masjids has to be one of the most peaceful experiences known to man. peaceful, big, comforting, simple and communal. keep on trucking,
I seldom say this about photographs, but these are too beautiful. I’m all but speechless.
Beautiful shots. That bhai drinking milk speaks volumes.
