Photos of Jamal Ashiqain

Ladies and gentlemen, I assume the immense pleasure of introducing to the world (however delayed I may have been) Jamal A. He deserves praise for the brilliance that he shows in his photos and in life. Despite of how little I know him, I feel as if I know him quite well for he is one of the greatest photographers to have spurred out of Karachi. And being a photographer, I know him in endless words for as they say, "a picture speaks a thousand words" and he has taken a thousand pictures which speak many a great million words indeed. Hats off to you dude, Soaleha
