Why Do You Rob The Soul Of Your Colored Pictures They Say, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
to my
artistic
curiosity
driving
my pictures
black white
deathly gray
via the aviary
tool..to a viewers
dismay ..mind
over matter
word play
poetic platitude
its my vision
distorted i obey
neither full
nor halfway
i try to capture
soundless silence
million light years
away..a pause
shutter aperture
has no say
fuck f stops
a thought
to renaissance
masters their
camera club clones
a message i convey
fuck shoot what you
have to shoot but
shoot your way
your cosmic eye
the only reality
rest leave it
to Yahweh
In India ..The Elderly Are Unwanted And Disposed Of On The Streets
In India ..The Elderly Are Unwanted And Disposed Of On The Streets, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
I have seen people bring their old relatives , make them beg at Dargahs Holy Shrines , even at the Maha Kumbh.. this is an Indian thing..and we have no compassion or humanity , we hypocritically talk about it and blow our own trumpet.
At Ajmer too young kids old folks come with relatives to beg .. it is a common feature ...a very professional part of spiritual tourism.. there are cases where relatives bring their wards possessed or mentally unstable try to get him cured if nothing works just leave him behind to fend for himself...or herself.
I shoot pain ,on the streets on the move and I shoot without taking a picture for picture sake , firstly I take a picture because it talks to me and I take pictures of body language.
This was one and there are many I shot at Ajmer of the neglect of waiting passengers by Indian Railways .. and our government knows everything but at the moment we are digging gold we got tired of digging our noses and scratching our balls ,,
Indian Railways Does Not Have Proper Safe Overhead Bridges So People Cross The Tracks ,,To Get To The Other Side
Indian Railways Does Not Have Proper Safe Overhead Bridges So People Cross The Tracks ,,To Get To The Other Side, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
Hundreds and thousands of people ,die crossing the railway tracks , some as a short cut measure cutting short their lives ,others because there is no over head bridge like Latur station .
Latur is famous for its earthquake and late Mr Vilasrao Deshmukh..so imagine rural areas that are remote and with nothing famous about them ..
Indian Railways is about making big bucks , scams and high prolific ministers who saw that their tenure bought more returns to their home states.
And Indian Railways poor outsorcing of cops , ticket collectors rude officials ,, what Indian Railways lacks is Humanity and Compassion.
Indian Railways loves passing the buck like the tragedy at Maha Kumbh poor disaster management and no control over their people and infrastructure ..
If you go to Charbagh Station Lucknow when the Pushpak leaves there are hundred boys men standing in a line to get space in the Chalu Dabba and the cops who control it are openly charging money for a seat I had a camera but did not shoot all this.. this is everywhere,... and why do people like Madame Mayawati when she had the opportunity did not build a mini Mumbai instead of stupid parks statues and elephants beats me ,,
Will any state really build a Mumbai.. even Mumbai cant build another Mumbai.
