Dronacharya KG Maheshwari
He is called Dronacharya , by the people who are very close to him, there was a splinter group called the Acharya Club that he was the honorary member, there would be get together s by this esoteric group that I found highly prejudiced towards the newcomers, the have seen it all type of guys, I dont know what happened to them
photographers the moment conceit and arrogance find residence in their souls I think doomsday has arrived.
I saw at Mr Maheshwaris house on one such gathering the other hidden face of photography, God save you from wounded photographers scarred by camera societies , every photographer wants to leave his name on the posterior of a benumbed posterity , that here lies in the chronilcles Mr XYZ President of Photographic Socitey of India…even it was for a few months only a defeated cause a defeated death …of the Art of Photography.
Mr KG Maheshwari helps a lot of photographic societies through the Maheshwari Foundation , another person that really extols him and his work is the great press photographer Anil Bhartiya, this is a genuine sincere admiration I have seen. Mr Anil Bhartiya heads his Camera Club NPPA, and he takes his students for Sand dune shootings at Jaisalmer , rain shoots at Malshej Ghats , they visited Bandipur and Kashmir too.
There are some photographers who dont like Mr KG Maheshwari s style of Photography , and will reject his prints where they sit as Judges of Photographic Salons.. KGM , Jatkar and I were consistent salon exhibitors there excuse Oh Maheshwariji has not changed his Style , this from a Master of Fine Arts and Photography.
Makes me puke all the more severely..Mr Devanand the thespian actor whose clothes I had styled for some films, who liked my change a day every day attire told me..Fashion may go out of Style but Style never goes out of Fashion.. Dev Saab has never changed his Style…so should we reject his contribution to Cinema and his Filmography.
But Mr Maheshwari is not bothered he does all he can , he is a gifted photographer..
Alll camera clubs should be shut down per se..
pathetic pilloried politics, secretaries who become lords of photography fiefdoms , old farts that are a disgrace to everything that photography stands for, ghost editors of newsletters who shamefully , venomously destroy instead of create.. the new photographer well he shoul join Mr Shrikant Malushtes classes if he is rich and loaded the very best being Girish Mistrys Shari Academy, , I for once searched chose my Gurus began my quest of Unlearning Photography, its all about big bucks the Stock agency wallahs of Mumbai have destroyed the purity of photography with their crass Marwari commercialism.. myopic megalomania..
I stand by what I have hereby seen in 5 years at the Photographic Society of India , it shames me calling myself a Photographer belonging to any club.
I gave my soul to the Photo Blog .. the photo blog dubbed me Photographerno 1.
And to be a photographer you need to be a poet from within rejuvenate your vision. shoot home made events as a salve to the wounds given to your soul by camera clubs..
I was a member of the Photographic Society of America.. it was the most depressing time of my picto unreality…I paid in Dollars now realize that money could have given joy to so many underpriviliged children in the backwaters of a poverty ridden existence.
The Photographic Society of America is pure pictorial hogwash…
The politics in camera clubs would shame even a harlot burning in helll…
update
I try not to write much about Mr KGMaheshwari as he comes from an illustrious industrialist family, they detest publicity, KGM is a very private person.. we hardly talk nowadays…I respect his silence which is as golden as his speech and my speechlessness to my Master.
