11 Years of Flickr Pro

The only place where as a photographer I grow ..

thanks to all those friends who helped me
understand photography ..friends very dear
very close added a dimension to this street
poet slammer firoze ..to replace my alcohol
dependence with a a camera a greater addiction
I cosmically chose ..from the interiors of dark
bowels of steaming rum I rose ..leaving behind
on the sidewalk of life my earthly imaginative
morbid mawkish moribund woes ..I chose poetry
instead of hackneyed prose ..the flesh rebelled
the spirits now in deathly repose ..

my 10673 poem..upclose ..flickr made me a poet
why only god knows ..sometimes half full sometimes
half empty .. a moment within a moment overflows

one with Lord Jesus I consider you my bro..not blood related
although..man was born to dream.. even dwarfs need dreams though their legs dont  grow ..with your ATM Card first I wont use it for drugs or booze notorious nebulous whores .
.
i shall keep away from readymade electronic mobile phone stores ..

The elusive woman I loved on Facebook I know she will come to me crawling on all fours ,, you get the score ...she had dropped me like a hot potato because after we made love I loved to snore ..she got tired of foreplay sticky sex made her bored ..now at my feet once again I will see her floored ,,a carnivorous bitch hardcore ..she will beg implore I will give her some crispy dollars  for services rendered shut the door .

Being  a polygamist I  will marry a nice African lady who will love me for my faults aberrations shortcomings no pun intended I am sure ..I will invite Michael as my best man the ambassador of goodwill who has shot all the beautiful African ladies as he follows the dictum prevention is better than cure ,lol

I will invite my best friend David Seibold ..he is flooding all his images on American photographer I am told ...Thomas Hawk his  family beautiful and bold ...I tried but could not become a photographer in his mold ....

Alex W is coming too...to experience the Bandra  Talao earcleaners and our ambivalent Mumbai winter both hot and cold .. Angel Sarah ..and Meld two lovely friends my luck double fold ..Bernie shadow boxer ..Chicago foodie ..who loves burgers hot dogs with lot of mayonnaise and mutton rolls. will be eating chicken biryani keema pao.. behold .

BennBell and Anothony Posey ..two old friends who have never ever called me an asshole ...always supporting me encouraging me ..this beggar poet poor soul...

Once Dr Glenn Losack was my best American friend ..but now looks at me from Odissa ..his talent manifold ,,, but he wont ever come to Mumbai..this poor beggar poets stronghold .

Craig Boehmen when I get injured sends me gifts braces that I dont use books that I dont read ..my fate like a Mumbai street potholed ..Craigs school of photography here at Bandra Bandstand I shall bank roll...with Magic eye as Dean..Travel connoisseur ..I shall fulfill his dreams of becoming an entrepreneur ..Raunaq Time and Travels I am assured .

For Anandamoy Chattrje a house in Hardwar a position sinecure .

For Daniel Cross a new Canon Camera prime lenses and billfolds ..
To Victor Bezrukov from Israel  Day of Atonement Happy Yom Kippur ..Peace will see you in Jerusalem when this world headed by Trump becomes more Mature ..

Thank your Reverend Aviles Carlos Edualrdo..good health wealth my testicular fortitude my children have insured ..

The Malang from Bollywood

Today I was in a state of sartorial confusion

This black robe is two in one if I wear it with a white pajama it becomes a Malang attire but I can change the spiritual contours of this dress if I wear along with it my Skull beads the Aghori Guru at Khamakhya gave me the skull beads hoping one day I will take Deeksha from him at Tarapeeth Kolkatta.
He was serious when he said I had both the Sufi and the Aghori  in me I remember while doing his Havan he called me aside whispered in my ears I was dead I was alive.. I did not ask for an explanation  a lot of me is dying everyday and lot of me is rising from the fire in my kundalini.

The Aghori Guru and I got along very well he had known me since my first trip and 2017 was my second trip.

I had told him my desire to document  the Aghoris  and he allowed me to shoot his rituals exorcism and his power over Evil forces and occult.

Where he did not want me to shoot a certain ritual he would tell me to stop recording he trusted me he could read my thoughts the Hijra shamans took their strength from him.

This is a long topic I will abruptly end it here I thought of wearing my Aghori  look for my meeting  with Raj Kumar Santoshi ji but changed my mind it would not be appropriate I thought in terms of sartorial presentation.

The problem is there arent any  Aghoris in Mumbai and the crematorium in Mumbai are far too tame and without the spectral illusions one finds at Khamakhya  or Bhoothnath Guwahati.
Both are scary and can haunt you even after you come out of your stupor.

Picture was taken by a Sufi guy who drives rickshah stays at the slums near my house he is a Murid of the Baba of Nagpur.

A Sufi Shrine that I have not visited.

So as I said earlier there are stories happening all around me and I shoot them without hesitation..

Tomorrow  is another hectic day back to town I will leave early pay a visit to both the Flea markets where I have my Murids and fans I refuse to call them followers..

I have to search for some rare accessories  ..

Life is a gamble and you can play it without a loaded dice or cards.

Gods Promoters of Peace ..Muslim Beggars

Give in the name of Allah
in his painful voice he pleads
abandoned by his family
old muslim beggar,,
an untouchable by his
caste society holding
firmly to his faith creed
man is known not only
 by his words but also
by  his deeds ...
extra food he gets other
beggars he feeds ..
god takes care of his
 needs ,,taking money
from me he curtsied
Cursing the ISIS
enemies of Peace
Brotherhood in Islam
Our Religion they have
hijacked dirtied ..
I nodded my head agreed
The Shias Ahmediyas Jews
Yezdis other minorities bleed
by the rabid children of Yazid
The Butcher of Karbala
The Wanting Seed
Power lust and greed .

Hussain did not give him his hand
only his head ..Karbala a sacrifice
as a thought embodied ..

Good Morning
For such a beautiful
 message of joy
May God Bless Him
Kind generous helpful
Mr David Jim
Though I confess
on the dead soul of my
father I dont really
know him..but being a
Sufi mystic I can visualize
him as dapper clean shaven
well built with a 56 inch chest
tall but slim ...he regularly goes
to the neighborhood Korean gym
his attire trendy trim..most of the
horny males like him..now let me
 not digress safety of my much
awaited $950,000 Dollars  ATM card
that I will use to rehabilitate  leprous
beggars without limbs homeless denizens
pain suffering filled to the brim
 also the beggar hijras  hope as ..a new
thought paradigm ..salutations to the Lord
with a new holistic hymn ..Gods mercy
Blessings to the altruistic David Jim

I just called him to wish him a Happy New Year
was told by his male secretary in a nasal voice
 David has gone for a swim...with a boy face
seraphim..fair and fare homonym..from the
land of milk honey Republic of Benin ..
a land that does not question Original Sin .

dedicated to my friend teacher mentor Thomas Hawk
who loves reading Rin Tin Tin...


So brave is Corporal Rusty.
Though he is just a boy.
How true is Private Rin Tin Tin
They are the army's pride and joy.
