My Street Images

These are a set of images I shot before I left for Makanpur to shoot the Urus Of Zinda Shah Madar .

 

I am dividing the Urus documentary as mobile photos and camera photos ,, I used both Canon 60 D and 7 D but I am astonished at my moderation I did not shoot much on the camera as I shot videos mobile photos that were easy to share at Twitter.

I am using Twitter as a mini photo management site ,,

 

I am using Flickr as my archive I hardly interact here ,, and I am posting my archive rigorously at my You Tube Channel.

 

Its been over 8 months I have locked my Facebook I miss a few friends but I can do without them.

 

I have added sobriety to my inner angst let my pictures talk.. I prefer to be in pianissimo mode ,,

 

However I am amazed that for years I used Flickr as my blog site ..but than the magic washed away and I distanced myself from all blogging platforms for me the Blog died of OD .

 

As a You Tube creator I became a storyteller ..I felt insulted to call myself a blogger I have always posted Original content I am not a formal educated photographer I am a DSLR point shoot artist Fuck F Stops ..

 

I actually enjoying shooting street images on my OPPO FS 1

I got it in exchange for my HTC 826 and paying a difference ..

 

Business as a high end tailor has not been good and for those who joined in late photography has never been my primary source of income ,, and both my cameras are gifts from my ex boss ..I was a successful corporate whore big bucks but he clipped my wings held me captive in a gilded cage I fuck flew out to become a Malang a semi Old Monk ascetic .

 

And I have cancelled my Ajmer Urus tickets that I had booked 3 months in advance I will take a train to Delhi and walk on foot with the Malangs Rafaees Qalandris from Delhi to Ajmer ,,as my Peer Syed Masoom Ali Baba Asqan Madari has appointed me as the Head of the Dam Madar Malangs of Mumbai he made me the Khalifa I wont have many problems from rogue and fake Malangs on my grueling walk.

 

I had great company shooting the Makanpur Urus thanks to both my dear friends Laurent Salesse who had shot it last year and my American friend Boaz I love this unassuming humble man he gifted me a Hard Drive 2 TB ..on my own after demonetization I can hardly buy one ,,Thank You Boaz and Father above .

 

I write a lot of shot micro poems 140 words at Twitter and even the Trolls and Modiji Bhakts keep away from me as I am only posting images ,, I shoot original content I shoot India the India that runs in my veins the India that is not Pushkar Fair a India that is not wildlife sanctuaries a India that is not travelling in a elitist Maharajah train..by Brahamnical Indian Railways .

 

I shoot hardcore India I live in India I breathe India my India is Mumbai but two places that intrigue my restless soul are Makanpur and Khamakhya ,, I am documenting the Malangs Naga Sadhus Aghoris Shaman Hijras Tantrics and Black Magic .

I hope to save money to fly to Guwahati as I will lose 6 days by train journey ,,its about these 6 days in the train the thought drives me crazily insane.

 

 

I also stopped shooting my grandkids ..and let them be kids they dont need the camera but if it comes in their hands they shoot it brilliantly ,,

 

Grandkids are busy relocated back to Mumbai with studies painting drawing and skates that I gifted them

 

I dont take them out like the old days ,, lol

 

It took me almost two days to upload over 50 videos mobile pictures that I shot at Makanpur ,, and now I will after this upload the Malang pictures shot on my camera ..to Flickr .

 

I shot a few videos on my camera but I am not to good with it I thought once I will learn video editing at some school but its expensive ,, so I have kept that remorseless desire in abeyance.

 

I try to see through your timelines too as and when I have time but I use this task on my mobile phone .

 

I thank all of you connected to me those who follow me those whom I follow ,,I dont add people to my timeline anymore ,,

 

I dont edit my pictures I dont delete my pictures ..my flaws are as important to me than the few good shots God takes for me ,

On my own I can shoot Nothing ,, Nothing ,,

God the great photographer shoots my pictures ,,and Fuck Decisive Moment ,,

 

Alex W is grinning my great American Godfather ..a Grandfather like me .

 

I thought of emptying out the broken water pot of my emotions ,,before it dries out completely.

 

Merci
