The Most Important Part of a Childs Life

The Most Important Part of a Childs Life, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

We all shoot pictures , as we see them first with our eyes and than magnified through our camera vision.

I shot this fast because Tom and Jerry are the two best friends of my grand daughter Marziya, she is a child hooked on Cartoon Network and You Tube..

You Tube is her instruction manual for life as poetry.. she will wait for me to play her favorite nursery rhymes.

At 2 and a half years she tells me Grand Pa put YouTube..

Her favorite nowadays is the Clinic commercial Chulbuli.

So I shot this child and added text to a vacuous moment of a street scene.

I shot a moment as I saw it and they are million moments vying for attention and I have selectively as a poet shot a few and bought it at your door step.

Street Photography is what keeps my camera alive not allowing it to rust , I am sorry I cant shoot what you shoot I dont have your vision.

Last evening near my workplace I saw a man asleep , I dont know if he was a drunk, or drugged but I kept shooting several frames as people touched him with their shoes and walked by.. I was shooting Humanity one that was asleep the other awake.


People wondered why I was shooting this but such is life , through the camera lens you see truth as it exists raw bare and vulnerable.

So street photography is shooting realism, shooting bare necessities of life on the mean streets of your town or city.

For me this is poetry shooting man on the street.

I have come across men drunk naked on the street but did not shoot them , knowing well that Flickr where I post all my stuff with its robotic inhuman censorious mind would label it porn..and I dont want to shadow box with the Devils advocate Terence.


So I shoot simple pictures simple situations I enjoy aesthetic nudes women and they inspire me no less .

My heart goes out to Kelly Rae who is a great photographer , intuitive cultured , and I dont know why she wants to delete her Flickr account , I have requested her not too.

I hate any good photographer leaving Flickr or Facebook..

Good photographers are good ambassadors of a web site and add to its popularity..but free membership on Flickr and a Nelsons eye to pornographers has made my life miserable on Flickr too..

People who dont read my Flickr profile and add me as one side contacts with the dirtiest and filthiest pictures on their photo stream and among their favorites , I have nothing against what you like or what you shoot but dont make me swallow what I dont like.

I have blocked over 375 people at Flickr for this particular reason.

I think Flickr management should take this issue seriously it is a malady that touches everyone instead of going after creative photographers with a biased attitude.

And I promote both Flickr and Facebook..

With 14250 links on Facebook about 80% are Flickr links.

Yes I pimp my Flickr blogs at Facebook and Twitter too.

I know a lot of good people have joined Flickr because of me.
