On Being Interviewed

July 2nd, 2009

If youve been following me and my photographic exploits then you might have noticed that Ive been interviewed twice in the span of a month. While its incredible, I went into these with a lot of hesitation and almost-trepidation. Im a fairly private person and dont like to talk too much about “Faisal Sultan” the person. Further, I really dont feel that I have reached any where near the level and potential in my photography to warrant people wanting to talk to me about my “art” or “work.” Needless to say, its incredibly humbling, and I will admit, rewarding and very very exciting! I just hope that I can continue to live up to the “hype” and continue to grow in my photography.

Thanks to Petapixel and iLovethatphoto for giving me the opportunity to talk about my work and I think I learnt something about myself and my work in the process.

    No reason to hide your talent or yourself. I really love your work and experience it as art.

    The world would be a worse place without your photos.

    Awesome… you’re a star! In a way, I’m glad you take photos just for yourself, to ‘capture the moment.’ At least that way I know that you are very likely to keep on doing it. It seems that you have found your passion, and helped a lot of others like myself, discover what passion is through your brilliant photography!
    Cheers!

    A massive 26 Gigapixel panorama of Paris. Zoomable and panable. I need to get there this year hopefully with my friskyCam. Last time I was in Paris was in 2005, literally for a day for a dinner trip (took the Eurostar in the morning, had dinner in Paris and was back in London at bedtime.)

    Truly wildlife photography. Photographer Greg du Toit spent months huddled in a dirty hole, contracted numerous parasites and thousands upon thousands of insect bites to get intimate pictures of animals in the wild, drinking from a pond. See also larger images on the Daily Mail website.

    This Op-Ed a great, measured piece about the whole ongoing US-Israel spat. Israel is like a virus and Bacteria on the face of the Earth, and it need to be neutralized. Im glad that Obama is finally taking concrete steps to ensure that Israel’s bank of blank checks has dried up.

    The next big thing in home theater is 3D. SONY released their new 3D plasma and LCDs in Japan earlier this week. They look cool, but I’m going to wait until I even think about upgrading my 60″ Pioneer plasma, which I love.

    Frank Rich on how the Bush-Cheney machine is trying to rewrite history - they are even going so far as to make the world believe that the 9/11 attacks didnt happen on Bush’s watch. Its so absurd that it might actually work and people will start believing it, as a lot of people in middle America that vote for these morons are clueless and idiots.
