Aviary Still Does Not Save My Pictures To Flickr




And I will not go cry at the Flickr Forum , it edits to my satisfaction , serves my purpose , I download it as a PNG image , and upload it again as a new post at Flickr ,

I type with one finger so it is painful.. but I am seeing emotions in new light..Ashura for the Shias is an intense moment of pain , a collective memory of the genocide at Karbala . the barbarism of the early Muslims and this barbarism is genetic to Islam.. it will always be there .. and this genetic flaw creates monsters like the ISIS Jehaddists , this misplaced martyrdom serves them well, looting raping , decapitating and showing it to the world this evil visual imagery is the worst form of Terrorism..

If they had not killed the Americans or the Western captives you think the world would have bothered , who cares , the Boko Haram carry on with their killings kidnappings and they should dismantle the eunuch UNO.

And so Moharam Ashura the  Shia chant of Ya Hussain continues protesting against the oppression of Yazid the original father of Terrorism, along with his father Mauwiyah ibn Sufiyan of the Umayad dynasty.

And Muslim youth will be influenced by all this trying to change the world make it entirely Muslim ..and you are the product of your parentage , your ancestry ,, we as Indians  Muslims dont have this evil trait and yes in most cases it comes from the Rogue Mullah too who teaches kids at the madrsas.. to some extent , they is a lot of bigotry racism and hate for the Kafir or Non Muslim,, the flaws are within the Islamic system of thought corrupted by the custodians of Islam but it is easy to blame American Israelis and the Muslim minorities.

Personally the few  places in the world where Muslims love killing Muslims is  Pakistan Afghanistan and the Arab belt of Syria Iraq..

I am happy I  was born in India and have no attachment with Arab thought or its barbarism..and this is Ashura the day we mourn for the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain grandson of the Holy Prophet , this was murder  but it has been condoned and written of as a a political event ,, this was the precedent to justification of killing anyone who does no follow their form of Islam be it Salafi Wahabbi ,, or any hate festering one ,,

And I have removed the color of blood we shed .. made it stark black and white ,, as a photographer documentarist I hate text words but sometimes it is needed to explain the symbolism of our bleeding heads bleeding backs and chests.

I bring you Karbala the moment of Karbala through an image ,,  a series shot in 2010 ,, revisited again through a faulty editing tool at Flickr ,, called Aviary..

Thank you Aviary.. I am astonished at my moderation,

Sometimes Shooting Reality Sucks .. Real Real Bad




i glorify truth
through
what i shoot
i get a kick
up my ass
sometimes
the boot
yes shooting
what exists
in religion
as 1400
year old
ritual is the
 cause root
they cut my
tongue
they made
me mute
i follow
flickr
terms and conditions
i dont shoot porn or nude
with any other religion
i have no feud
through my pictures
i am fucked dude
it all comes
down to one
fucked attitude

The Color Of Blood Is Black And White

the passion of his faith
the pain of ashura
karbala en-flames
his souls reflects in
his eyes like spectral
light he bleeds he
feels a moment
that lives forever
the burning tents
that mourning night
the blunt blade of
yazid as it moves
stubbornly over
the imams neck
a horrible sight
for tear eyed
zainab her
pain a sisters
 plight her
indomitable
spirit her
womanly
might

all this i tried
to etch painting
it in dimming light
i shot my faith
my pain held tight

as the blood flowed
from my own head
i saw the rivulets
glistening as drops
of rain black and white

fear took fright in
expectant flight


I am on Flickr Instagram You Tube
