Congratulations to Zoriah.net contributor G.M.B Akash for winning the prestigious Travel Photographer of the Year award. Since his last post here, Akash has been busy with a cover story for Geo, a cover photo on the Guardian and as usual, winning more awards than anyone I know. I am very pleased to present Akash's recent, award winning work on Ship Breaking in Pakistan.
From Akash:
Ships are purchased and then demolished in ship breaking yards and sent to steel re-rolling mills for reuse as raw material for production of steel. Currently, the international ship demolition market is centered on the Indian subcontinent, while a large number of tankers find their way to scrap yards in Pakistan and Bangladesh,
The workers in Gaddani, Pakistan are mostly Pashtu people from the Northern Territories close to the Afghan border. They are seasonal workers, spending the other part of their time working as farmers in their homelands. They are quite poor and what you would call fundamentalists in their Islamic believes. They are hard workers, tall, strong, and proud yet soft spoken.

A a reminder to all...many hazardous chemicals and waste products find their way into our oceans as these ships are dismantled. The fluids that allow the engines to run remain in the ship while it is dismantled. This allows the fluids to drain back into the ocean. It's a very dangerous job for these men. No government oversight to protect the environment or the men.
Stunning photographs.

I would like to know how proponents of non-sexist writing suggest you
refer to the pronoun associated with ships and boats. Is "she" still
acceptable?

I was looking for bits and pieces of articles about travel or backpacker insurance and I ended up paying close attention to this post. This is entirely interesting. The photographs are perfectly nice. Every picture is full of meaning. Every shot speaks so many words. I’m happy to be staring at these works of art. I also love to take pictures but only random pictures. After seeing these masterpieces, I think I’m inspired to seriously learn the art of photography. These photographs deserve not only praises but also awards. I wish to see more of these. This post is a job well done.

I was born during the ’80's have never seen the band play live. My love for the band is something that had formed through listening and singing along to their songs I never get tired of listening to. Tipong, this reunion, this 83008, means so much to me, a fan, because, probably, hopefully, this might be my only chance of seeing the greatest band play songs that define my life.
Happy new year by joy.
