Without Sounding Disrespectful I Will Never Shoot Flowers





I shoot flowers of the human kind
battered bruised trampled on the
streets of misery despair searching
for hope marginalized mankind
some leprous crippled some blind
their story of pain through my pictures
unwind no fragrance no aroma blood
sweat tears pus oozing from wounds
in a world insensitive unkind ,
what is lacking in this world is compassion
beggars outside gods house ...you will find
a few coins on their outstretched dirty  hands
a moment divine ..i will never shoot flowers
that mock the ugly lives of beggars ..yet
in a temple its flowers enshrined ..


flowers and beggars two parallel lines
cosmically unaligned ,,,that a insensitive god
on a bad day erratically designed with the power
of his master mind ..

India Is Born In The Eye Of The Beholder




India is an ocean of mystical delight
what you saw in color is inherently
black and white pictures are products
of your inner sight a visual you paint
with light you take care of the shadows
god takes care of the highlights ..
photography is a curative science
holistically healing your inner wounds
as the demons that stalked you take
flight ..poetry is the essence of
picture taking ,,,peak of eloquence
that makes you write ..a poets passion
disembodied dilemma of a poets plight

a good photographer must shed his
ego his arrogance be humble be polite
my world is a garbage dump in its womb
holding night ..i shoot the androgyne
the hijra helpless hermaphrodite

does the cosmic camera need human eyesight
the other side of the moon is the other side of midnight

Who Am I ?



I asked myself
quizzically I got a
ponderous reply
you are nothing
without your
penetrating
camera eye
you will be taking
it along with you
when you die ..
but the vision
will be inherited
by your grandchildren
Marziya Nerjis ..
bequeathed by you
as your heritage .
ego-less without
the I ..photography
is an optical illusion
without questioning
why ..a moment that
you release let it fly
world photography day
catcher in the rye ,,
