Whatever you guys out there are shooting I have shot it too be it studio lighting shots and I have shot with one of the most eminen photographers my guru Mr KG Maheshwari and late Mr BW Jatkar and I have shot table tops with another guru Mr Anil Bhartiya , learnt the nuance of stealing souls from Vinay Paralkar , Bhupesh Little ,to name a few .
I have shot seagulls ,,I have shot macro I have not shot wildlife nor have I shot nudes .. but I have no regrets ..
It was Mr Shreekanth Malushte who taught me street photography.
Late Mr PC Little taught me humility in photography and made me see images to be shot as verses rhyme and poetry.
Over the years as I moved from analogue photography , I met great masters of photography on the net , absorbed their patience perseverance I began to gather their vision in bits and parts ..I could not dare to steal their vision completely ..
I will name just a few Glenn Losack, Tom Andrews ,Eric Parker Benn Bell Anthony PoseyJean Marc Gargantiel Marc De Clercq , Laurent Lascelles , Laurent Design LDG Roland Luthi ..
The list could go on but it would be incomplete if I did not include Late Jeff Lamb and this post is dedicated to him , the poet photographer who shot visuals that needed no text.. he changed he molded me he had one wish and that was to see my grand daughter 4 year old Marziya Shakir as a complete street photographer , he loved her like his own, and he gushed about her innocence as the worlds youngest street photographer Marziya beegan shooting Mumbai streets with a hand held Nikon D 80 when she was less than 2 year old.
And I still admire works of friends on Flickr , Google+ I am not influenced by them I say this in honesty they are big names huge photographers but they dont shoot scum shit that I show you through my street urchins lepers and others.
So this is a post to thank all of you most of all those of you who are not photographers but who encourage with me your positive criticism comments I could not complete all this without you..
You are what gives strength to my Humility.
I thank Jack C Crawford because without him you could not see all my pictures he bought me the Pro Flickr membership and added me to his circle of great friends the best on Google+
Thank you Sofie , Rodney Pike Pio , Rodney Longoria Eve Danny and all the all of you.. love you guys ..
