User:Muhammad Mahdi Karim

Hi, I am Muhammad Mahdi Karim, a Tanzanian student living in Bangalore, India since July 2009. I am interested in digital photography especially in macro photography and panoramas. Having spent a majority of my time in Dar es Salaam, most of my pictures are taken around the coastal area of Tanzania. You can contact me by email or via my talk page.

My website http://www.micro2macro.net/ has a gallery of my images.
