Documenting the angst of the hijra allowing his esoteric nature of yore now to be read by all as human beings is the pristine pure essence of this blog.. I dont sell my hijra pictures I dont share my hijra pictures and my hijra pictures wont be seen in newspapers for obvious reasons we bloggers are not as yet considered serious photographers we are elbowed to a leprous corner of a gray zone of photography..

We have cameras we shoot poems and that hits them hard in the guts with with all their Mach 2 and high end cameras and lenses..

We will never be counted as photographers per se and hijras will never be allowed entry in the hallowed halls of photo blogs awards yes photography is elitist racist bigoted for more reasons than one..


Bloggers wont ever be part Press Club of India culture rights of admission reserved for dogs and bloggers says the imaginary board outside.. Sach Much Had Kar Di..


And without fancy gold embossed Press Cards the blogger dares and defies his cosmic fate robbing the soul of the hijra in the consciousness of his camera.


Shooting things as they are is the essence of a street photographer fuck perspective.. I have tried perspective placing the camera on the tits of a hijra and shot her pain down below in the cavernous region of her androgynous dilemma..and I am not into hijra sex but yes photography when it enters your soul makes you a poet too..some pictures I shoot for myself as a fine arts student and it helps.

Problem is in India Art and Fine Art is a demarcation do thin that there is a gossamer difference between erotica poetry are porn.. and I dont shoot porn at all.

I shot the man without balls and in the darkness of his soul he was nothing short of being a woman..so shooting hijras is not my bread or butter it is merely an exercise in honing my inner angst too of tangibly becoming aware of my own pulsating humanity too.

Above all .. street photography is humility without humility even God does not exist.. and because God did not create Hijras the belief that God is omnipotent omniscient increases the soul of mans poetry too...with relevance to God and androgynous spirituality and godliness .
