Fatwa On The Soul of a Photo Blog

86,263 items / 521,261 views

My Profile page at Flickr has this not to be missed notice or disclaimer , but nobody reads it at all.

PLEASE DONT ADD ME AS A CONTACT IF YOU ARE INTO PORN SEMI PORN , KINKY GROUPS I AM NOT INTERESTED IN BEING A POSTER BOY ON YOUR LIST OF FRIENDS EVEN IF IT IS ONE SIDED FROM YOUR END- I WILL BLOCK YOU IMMEDIATELY ..PLEASE RESPECT MY RIGHT OF PRIVACY..AS I RESPECT YOURS..

PLEASE DONT SEND ME INVITATIONS FOR GROUPS..I DONT BELONG TO GROUPS HERE OR AT FACEBOOK OR ELSEWHERE

I WILL BLOCK ONE SIDED CONTACTS THAT HAVE ADDED ME WITHOUT THEIR PROFILE OR AVATAR OR THOSE INTO KINKY GROUPS..PORN ETC..

I am really surprised shocked and sad, people dont read my profile page at Flickr before adding me as a contact or friend, and because I show up on their friends list , without my explicit permission I am left with no choice but to block them.
I have no grouse or anything personal with them ..I respect homosexuals , transgenders , but if they add me as a contact and are part of kinky groups , porn or semi porn I block them ..

I do not wish to be associated with things I dislike..there are times I come across a person with great love for photography and than his groups are sexually intimidating , degrading the very aspect of human life I am not a voyeur I dont need to see other peoples genitalia .. period..I find the sex act among humans messy , unpoetical ,, unhygienic and body craving , I mean sex must start between two minds first in unison , before it reaches the abysmal low where one body sticks to another body.

Maybe I think like a celibate or a hermit crab..with a castrated sense of bearing.

So back to where I started , Flickr must stop this one sided friend addition , specially those without adequate profile details, no avatar, I block these people too, its very easy to add , but there must be some substance signifying why you are on flickr.

My pictures are marked safe and , if you do not like my pictures it is your prerogative I cant shoot pictures because of your racial hate or distaste , I shoot pictures for myself , I dont impose my pictures on your will, you can avoid my photostream , knowing what I stand for after reading my profile..

I am an open book , I had this ass hole who commented on my picture set , that he pictorially found fault with my picture , yet this guy had no pictures on his photo stream nor a profile photo..I hate all these f**** who hide in the closet and dictate terms to others.
Photography is not only about pictures , it is about human values , respect and other things too.Its about mutual tolerance for another mans choice of medium and his genre..

And I am not going to mellow my language being a pedestrian wordsmith has perhaps something to do with it..

An Indians are the biggest racist .. and it is hell to pay if you are part of a Muslim hating website...and here on my Flickr photostream it is Hope and Hindutva a message of Peace , that I shoot barfeet and share it with all of you..and Shia Wahhabis in Lucknow passed a fatwa on me that I am paid by rich Hindus to post pictures of Naga Sadhus on Flickr makes me throw up my righteous indignation too..
