Shot By Marziya Shakir Nikon D 80

Shot By Marziya Shakir Nikon D 80, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

We were going to the park I handed over my camera Nikon D 80 to Marziya she took two shots to the surprise of people on the road I have to assist her to some degree but the picture taking is all hers , she shoots what she is shown she is the cameras human viewfinder.

But she knows exactly what makes a street picture and she is just two and a half year old.


She is advertising a brand that her grand father has used since he became a street photographer.

This was the second shot she took without shyness or crowd consciousness and she shoots clinically , the camera or its weight does not intimidate her , the guy in the picture took her shot on his mobile phone.

This is life on the streets that I have exposed Marziya as a toddler , and this is despair at the other end of the camera , the camera makes you see things minutely not that Marziya can see all this in the viewfinder yet , the viewfinder is in the head and it is the keyhole that makes you see light even at the end of a winding tunnel of groaning moaning pain.

I dont overdo Marziyas shooting skills on the street only where I think it is photogenic and has a message I hand over the camera.

But sometimes she wont take it as she has her whims and quirks Marziya is a impulsive photographer like me.

Shooting her shooting these kids was a Nikon moment I lost for all time.
