The Pied Piper Of Kolkatta ..

I had been to Kolkatta as a young teenager on my way to Darjeeling many years back and this was the second time in  I had come to shoot Moharam Ashura .

I really did not know much about street photography it was my dear friend Late Fred Miller who instilled thoughts about this powerful genre in photography and made me use this tag on my street pictures .. now over 55726 perhaps more as my culture ritual sets are street photography too..

And why I shot this I dont know I just shot pictures impulsively on film.

And now revisiting my old pictures experimenting with them through Aviary I draw a new inference of thought and dimension,,

Miss You Fred Miller

Late Fred Miller wrote this testimonial for me at Flickr I share with all of you , he passed away recently and is fndly remembered by all his Flickr friends .

Fred Millaer was a gifted Wordsmith ,

FredMikeRudy says:
"He's a Blogger and a Poet
and wouldn't you know it,
an accomplished Tailor, to boot.

He's so far-out that he's in
with Trannies ( in the skin )
and their tricks, that he picks
for a shoot.

See, he's a prolific photobug -
not a Papparazzi photo thug
shooting freely, in pursuit

of the downcast and unwanted
who forever are haunted :
low life in hi-res his route.

Wordplay captures Swordplay
for his cache; with sash-ay
he flashes his rings

on his fingers and ears
and yet, his sight no one fears
for it's just simple Love that he brings.

Catch him on Flickr
see him at Wordpress
marvel at all that he's done

in this life. He's resolving,
injustices absolving
Firoze IS Photographer No. 1 !"

I am no more at Wordpress ,
