Late Mr PC Little Eminent Photographer From Lucknow
When Mr PC Little died , he was my mentor and a great teacher father of my friends Bhupesh Little and Avinash LIttle I could not find these images , as they were among a whole lot of unmarked CDS and DVDs ..I had to borrow another photographers picture to write Mr PC Littles obituary.
Last night I discovered these images and called Bhupesh , sent him these copies and as I was very tired I have again been hit by a bout of bad cold I left this space blank.
Mr PC Little had a great camera collection , and like my collection too as he was a versatile camera repairer if he repaired your old antique camera it would come back in perfect working condition , he repaired some of my rare ones without charging me a penny..
He loved poetry Keats was his favorite and he quoted heavily from him.
I met Mr PC Little through Bhupesh his son I met Bhupesh through Prof BW Jatkar at his house at Dadar and because Bhupesh was from Lucknow where I had my roots , I was born in Lucknow we became very good friends and when I came to Lucknow to celebrate Athvi , I made it a point to visit them at Gomti Nagar and ended up befriending Mr PC Little we hit off very well and Mr PC Little made me a honorary member of his prestigious Horizon Camera Club.
So each visit to Lucknow was incomplete without meeting Mr PC Little .. who spoke about me to Ms Sunita Aaron of Lucknow Hindustan Times and they did a story on my documentation of Moharam in Lucknow.
He was writing a book on the Nawabs so I came to know Nawab Abdullah Mir Jaffar and we spoke those days before the mobile phone I still have all his old correspondence in his beautiful handwriting , he was a historian well versed with Lucknow and the Nawabs and the Great Siege of 1857 at British Residency.
I will surely miss late Mr PC Little who was indeed larger than life and a great humanbeing.. multifaceted talented creative personality ,,He was a great admirer of late Mr KG Maheshwari too.
