Aside I turn to the holy, unspeakable, mysterious Night. Afar lies the world -- sunk in a deep grave -- waste and lonely is its place. In the chords of the bosom blows a deep sadness. I am ready to sink away in drops of dew, and mingle with the ashes. -- The distances of memory, the wishes of youth, the dreams of childhood, the brief joys and vain hopes of a whole long life, arise in gray garments, like an evening vapor after the sunset. In other regions the light has pitched its joyous tents. What if it should never return to its children, who wait for it with the faith of innocence?

Ancient Greeks had two words for time. Chronos and Kairos

Chronos: the measurable passage of time in a linear fashion… minutes, hours

Kairos: the "right time", the decisive, critical time - when opportunity and action intersect.

Kairos has no past, present or future. It is when eternity breaks into time and forces us to make choices and take decisions. (source: www)

My crowning achievement. The best of me!

Pakistani Wedding Pictures

I started 2010 on a high note by photographing Pakistani wedding which was a lot of fun. The colors were vibrant and the designer bridal lehenga/lehnga/lengha was awesome. Gorgeous brides with intricate henna and mehndi Pakistani designs, breathtaking gold jewellery, latest Pakistani designer salwar kameez dresses made the weddings something special. Rich cultural heritage of Lahore shone through in the ceremonies along with a lot of emotion, drama and flair. Here is a sneak preview of some of my favorite Pakistani wedding pics. Bridal make up artist was Saman of RR.

Raves about Irfan Ahson Photography!

There is no better proof of quality of my work if it can compell my competitor photographers to drop me a note to appreciate my craft! And some of them charge twice as much as I do!

"I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I sincerely admire your work. Your images are always beautifully exposed, well composed and sharp as a tack. You make it look so easy! For what it's worth, you have the best work of any photographer I've seen posting on CraigsList, without exception."

The images on your site are gorgeous! I’d love the opportunity to meet with you and work with you. We have a large team in Austin and Houston. Check us out athttp://www.ownfairygodmother.com/.Dawn EarleyOwner

Mary: A recent client

"I have been so tickled to share your photos from the wedding with friends and family ... and other people who I barely know. Everyone says they are beautiful. Andy's parents were so proud. It was exactly what we were hoping for. I even had fun going back to your website and sending out the link to others to check out. Very nice. I think I may have added a few people to your fan club.So what worked for us:

1) You do great work. Gorgeous, living images;

2) It was a much better style for us than the traditional portraits. I think that the images will "age" very well;

3) I love the thought that we will remember ourselves looking like this. Our memory of the event will be of the images where we look so happy. Some shots are pretty complex and show things that we were not focused on that day. You caught those parts of the story;

4) You were reliable and easy to work with. I can't say that about all of the vendors;

5) Your wife was very conscientious about details. I really appreciated that;

6) The price was very reasonable. I anticipate that your rates are going to increase considerably in the future!

7) The digital images were a good choice for us. We could do that because Andy has the technical skill to work with them and enjoys doing it. If we had a photographer who had given us only the retouched finals, Andy would have wanted to do them over himself;

8) I like the idea that our wedding was photographed by someone who may become famous!

So that's what I can think of. I really do love the idea of the power of images to shape our memories. You made me feel very proud of Andy and very pretty for a day :)As my family's historian, I have a collection of hundreds of photos going back to the early 1860s. This is part of what I will remember and part of what we will leave behind.Thank you both for your time and your talents."

Nancy Hoffmann-Allison Wow! Love your photo's

--------------------------------------------

Bassem and I had such a great time shooting with you! The photos turned out more beautiful than we expected and we cannot wait to share them with everyone. The shots, the location, the colors, the poses...everything was perfect! We really did appreciate your patience with us. The drive to Austin was certainly more than worth it, cops and all!! We look forward to meeting with you again sometime in the near future. If we were getting married in the states, you would have been our top choice--our only choice for that matter! Thank you very much for everything!

Our thoughts about Irfan Ahson Photography:

We highly recommend Irfan for any photography. He is professional, prompt, and friendly. He discretely took photos at our wedding without missing any important moments. He always took time to make sure the lighting/background was good for the picture, and he checked photos immediately after taking them to make sure the image was of good quality. It was a pleasant surprise to review our photos, because Irfan had also taken pictures of unexpected details, the special little things that we would love to remember about our wedding day. We have a lot of beautiful images from our wedding that we will cherish forever. We are very happy!
