There Is Always Light At The End of The Trouble, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
I dont sell my pictures , I refuse to be a coffeetable photographer I dont exhibit my art in this city I am showcasing my vision as a man pf peace all over the Internet ..
My parents made me a citizen of the world much before the internet came in my life ..my parents Shias from Lucknow taught me that respecting another mans faith made us human.. and I follow their tenets my grand children are following the same path without narrowness of vision or belief. as photographers too.
And as a street photographer this was the best way of coming to terms with the frailty of my camera and my lens ..last night I shot the 7 day Immersion at Juhu beach, but it was disappointing for me as a diabetic and a barefeet photographer I carried both my cameras shot with the Canon EOS 7 D.. I did not realize that Hindus dont immerse their Gods on Saturday and Tuesdays so all the big Ganpatis were to arrive after midnight and I had arrived at Juhu beach at 6 .30 pm .. however I shot till 10 pm.and was absolutely tired ..I dont think I had the strength to wait till midnight I rushed home just in time to shoot the Jolly Boy Reclamation Ganesha it was heading fo visarjan to Dadar .. I have shot this below my house every year ..
I shot my good friend mentor Mr Yusuf Lakdawala at Advocate Ashish Shelars Ganpati .. I have not downloaded the Immersion pictures , the Jolly Boys wanted me to come for Immersion to Dadar I declined I am trying to keep myself intact for shooting the Visarjan journey of Lalbagh Chya Raja..
But I shall take a break from the GSB Ganesha journey and post last nights pictures ..
