Cry Beloved PSI


Cry Beloved PSI
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1
This macro shot was sent to me as an email attachment along with several others by a an ardent photographer friend, whose soul immotalizes photography though he is crossed his 85 years..his passion is as parched wanting to be slaked with images every new day..
He assisted in the founding of eminent camera clubs that flourished under his able steward ship..he did all this for love of photography .Those days photography was not about big bucks.Photography was a way to chill , connect , climb 7 floors on a pictorial rooftop called Photographic Society of India..a non commercial amateur photo club..Today it has disintegrated into a political card game club..
Everything under the guise of photography...
Yes Cry the Beloved PSI..

I sent this poem to him..after seeing the microscopic insect picture.

last i saw such insets
they were cocoond at psi
where pictorial debris
mirrored as a back eye
65 years old lady
tears that during monsoon
leak and cry
a new order giveth way
analogue doom
a digital dude
i spy
obituary to a camera club
spirit was willing
the flesh had to die
a wet hanky
a final goodbye.
