Sander Kleinenberg in Lahore, Pakistan

FCCM Pakistan pulled the Ministry of Sound and Sander Kleinenberg into Lahore. There's a lot more footage coming, but I thought this moment dancing on stage behind him was just epic.

Some pictures I took that night: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100710299416105.2764001.3418104&type=1&l=6bde391bc7

Derezzed at the Pakistan India border

Derezzed: At the Pakistan India Border from Khurram Siddiqi on Vimeo.

If you’ve ever been to the Wahga border that is just outside Lahore in Pakistan, you’ve seen quite a show. There’s a very famous ceremony that takes place EVERY day, where the Pakistani border guards ‘face off’ with the Indian border guards in a show of force, that is pretty choreographed in my opinion. As you can see from the video- there are tons of people who come out to ‘see’ the whole event. It’s seriously a form of entertainment in both parts of the Punjab it seems.

The thing is- there’s all this hoopla over what is pulling 2 flags down and closing 2 metal gates. But that’s the show and tell- these border guards serve tough duties for both countries.

Regardless, I love the energy of the crowds, the flags being waved, and of course- Pakistan.

I went to Wahga with some friends last year, and shot lots of pictures for this stop motion video. All of it is stop motion- only some minor color filters applied here and there.

The Legend of Qilla Gujjar Singh

Here’s a picture of my dad with some childhood buddies playing cricket. Two of them are favorite ‘uncles’ of mine who treated me like their own son when I lived in the Bay Area. What a charmed life we all live.
