I’m mostly interested in street/nature photography and outdoor candid people portraits. Mainly photographs which catch subjects off guard, and show an un-posed side of life. For this purpose, ideal places are generally train stations, sunday markets or rural suburbs. Still I haven’t really tried any of these out until now.
My idea is to explore such locations in the coming weeks and shoot some pictures to explain the pros and cons of each site. There is some interesting feedback on a related thread at PPG Flickr, although the conversation is more towards doing commercial photography which has a slightly different set of needs.
I will update with follow up posts on this subject while exploring different locations.

This is quite a touchy topic and is strictly subject to one’s own culinary tastes. Personaly I prefer beef over chicken, when it comes to burgers. This isn’t surprising for anyone except if you’re living in Lahore 
where the de-facto burger choice for some reason is the reason for KFC’s success.
Couple of weeks back, Salman recommended burger hub in DHA phase 1 (food street, opposite cock & bull) and it is indeed the current best burger place in Lahore. The menu caters for both traditional and chicken based items and the french fries are just heavenly. When ordering, I’d recommend asking them which one is current favorite.
Ofcourse its only a take-away and you have to either eat in your car or take it home.

At about 3 hours drive from Tripoli, lies the town of Nalut. While you drive up the mountains, the terrain suddenly changes and its hard to realize but Tunisia is just another 15 minutes further. Nalut has one of the better preserved ancient Berber ruins in Libya. If you’ve already visited Yafran, this place will seem like a real archeological site.

Switching to wordpress on a boring and lazy weekend! Let’s see how it goes
To do list:
- Import entries from artesia & aafia’s cookbook (surprisingly tricky as the php paths are now mixed up and i have to extract the data directly from mysql.
- Setup a photo gallery based on YAPB and customize one of the free themes.
- Customized headers for the website, preferably a different header for each category and page
- Customized images for each category to show up in the archive pages
