Beggary could be a subject taught in school and colleges and you could get a Phd in this subject , a subject that touches even those who dont beg, that they beg favors from bigwigs their wives girlfriends boyfriends or from god is not part of this blog..

The man who is fascinated with beggars to the point of dementia is my dear friend Dr Glenn Losack MD the furious physician, shooting beggars is an aesthetic art only a few will understand ,I understand because I am a street poet and photographer , and street photography is the science of the human soul in karmic revolt again time nature and fate.

Street photography is shooting a picture within a picture with your eyes closed,,,it takes time perseverance and experience, you have it or you dont have it, it is inborn ,..my grand daughter 3 year old Marziya has it she is gifted she shoots time and freezes it as eternity..

I was sitting in the ricksha and I shot several frames of this new male lead in the cinemascopic world of revolving frames , moving pictures as still life.

We spoke and he knew I knew his pain his story without exchanging words.. everything in life comes down to body language .. he understood mine I understood his.


Some people look at beggar pictures with disdain.. and unfavorably and the thing that comes to their fucked detached myopic mind is the photographer shoots to make money..makes me puke at the unintelligent thought , but its fine..

We shoot beggars and that is the fact of life , metaphoric or real poetry or prose..

I have shared bread with beggars lived with them and only the beggars were revered souls the Naga Sadhus I ate food left overs and got over my guilt of the original fucked sin of life,

And I have had a long day, I was in town , I have just returned , I shot a lot of pictures..from a moving bus and a cab.. Moghul Masjid , Shia folks and the Shia ambiance of Moharam at Imamwada road.

I shot the second day of matam at my house with Marziya doing it like an old hand such is the message of peace and Humanity we call Hussain.

This Santa Was So Horny He Made Kids Sit On His Laps

This Santa Was So Horny He Made Kids Sit On His Laps, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

now the only guy that could play santa
fat funny jovial was a harmless chap
tyres round his waist lot of flap
many years back the local
whore had given him the clap
he was still caught in time wrap
now he was hitting back
at the system from scrap
libidinous leaking tap
he was jobless cash strapped
he played santa as stop gap
high blood pressure
over excited he gasped
shaking wobbling red cap
swollen feet kneecap
double chin ear flap
not just santarchy
he was caught in a
karmic death trap
because once
he had cheated
the local whore
she had cut of
his pecker
its remains
huddled cuddled
in his jockstrap
this santa was an
australian racist poet
gay pedophile
also known as hubcap
a poet hunter racist poet
he hated Indians
from the land of the
rising sun on the map

Abid Bhai is a good friend I met in Hyderabad and a great friend too its because of him Sajjad Bhai and folks of Choti Bargah Lutfi Brothers I was able to document Moharam in Hyderabad ..

Abid Bhai for three years sits on the elephant that carries the Bibi Ka Alam during the Ashura procession in Hyderabad and when he called me at home that he was in Mumbai I rushed to Minara Masjid he was staying at Moghul Darbar ,

I bought him home , he would not have dinner with us as he was full he said he had black tea and Saif my son dropped him back to his hotel..

Marziya Shakir my grand daughter 4 year old shot this picture on the Canon EOS 7D with the heavy vertical grip..

And celebrity photographers dont intimidate Marziya who has learnt photography from her American photo Guru Dr Glenn LosacK MD and Viola from Denmark.

Her sister Nerjis Asif Shakir 9 month old is also aspiring to be a street photographer like her.
