Some points for general discussion...

1. Ways of obtaining expert photographers to visit Maldives and teach.

2. Holding joint exhibitions.

3. Finding ways of promoting Maldivian photographers from a single powerful pool.
Or a web address. From where clients and buyers will be able to access and choose. Yeah, more like a directory of names and contacts. With samples.

4. Organising of photo trips and tours to interesting places.

5. Does anybody know anything about 'benk lui loanu...'?

6. An ebay local rep? For ordering camera stuff for others. I have seen products at Maale shops at 3 times the price on the internet.

7. And... attracting more 'skin' into flickr.

At the optometrist.
Did I spell that right? C-True opical. This is Zuha testing out glasses. Day one at the eye testing experiment. Will post more as and when necessary.

An afternoon of hip swaying...
and feet stomping with the brightest red fairies. And elves.

Dressed in local traditional garb. At Iskandahr School anniversary carnival. Fair I think.

Shot through openings from the make-shift stage back.

In the smokers room with Zero Degree Atoll.

An all time favourite music band in Maldives.
This was in the airport lounge... yesterday, enroute to the Capital island.
I must have left out some non-smoking members outside. But there is hope to catch them in action. There is an event coming up on the 18th of May, I heard.
Click to enlarge! Thanks Ahmed.

And view from the window seat.
Not bad, I guess. Considering the fact it was raining while we boarded the plane.

View from the aisle. phew!
Wish I didn't tremble so much whenever I am confronted by pretty ladies with belts at their disposal.

Coconut graveyard.

Cutdown trees making way for space to build homes.
Spotted in Feydhoo island yesterday. Oh, all pics are from yesterday.

I am back in 'crack' city.
Havent you heard? The crack that was reported back in the late 80's in the reef of Maale island has been widening, it seems. No wonder. Possibly from the weight of all those big beutiful buildings... Long story. Maybe some other time folks.

Seasons change within a matter of hours.

Photos from yesterday. Sometime between 4.00 and 5.30.
The sky has turned grey and it is raining as I write.

Catch of the day

Brunch and Lunch with pro photographer Salim Madjd who flew in from USA recently. Find Salim Madjd at pbase where his portfolio is posted.

New America Media dot Org Photo of the day.

Do Practically Nothing by Ahmed Zahid.
For the islanders this do-nothing thing was an art-form inherited from ancient ancestors of the shipwreck age. Today this art has been approved, encouraged and stylised by popular media. And unemployment.
Youngsters are being educated Cambridge style with Cambridge expectations. Youngsters who pass Cambridge exams, are shocked to find out the society they enter, does not have Intel corps, and HSBCs that they so fondly fantasised from textbooks.
The alternatives they find on the job market are too islandish and too lowly to be even considered ‘proper’.
What a good excuse to kill away a Tuesday afternoon and practice art, by the park. The art of doing nothing.
