textless photos on Flickr

I shot these pictures while going to Nana Chowk and Grant Road for some work, than I took a bus to Bhendi Bazar that passes the infamously famous Mumbai Cages the redlight area of Mumbai called Peela House of Falkland Road ,, I shot a few frames of the commercial workers trying to sell their bodies earn their daily bread ..I have shot this area extensively , as I know a few transgender commercial workers here ,, this set at Flickr I have disabled from public view.

I am using the Windows Flickr uploader latest Flickr offering and I have no limit , being a Pro Flickr member , I can upload all my images they will be kept private in sets till I enable them for public view .

It is a tedious process and the upload is going on since last night a picture at a time instead of a batch but ..it is a batch upload of a complete folder .

I will add the details descriptions later .. I like shooting old buildings in contrast with the phallic towers of the rich mans fantasy.. tall and erect ..

So far I have uploaded 180 images from this folder ,,and its raining , I have decided not to go for my walk.. my 60D is dead comatose ,,because I stupidly shot in the rains ,,

I have over 65535 images in my street photography set at Flickr but if you see my religious sets most of the stuff shot on the streets could as well be street photography so it could reach a figure of 200000 street shots ,, out of 340,216 Photos public and private at my Flickr photostream.

Flickr suits me well I showcase my vision here as a photo and as a blog.. I tried Google Photos too but I prefer Flickr , the best photo management site ,,a part of it is almost like Facebook as I have friends we interact , comment and share in depth views of life at both ends .. my world and their world.

However Ello is a place to watch, with big wide spread photos ..and some great photographers showcasing their creativity ,a nice well knit community of similar mindsets .. and creative interests ,,I use Blogspot as it is one of my oldest online presence but I wish they shut it down ...I have several blogs here all sourced from Flickr ,, or give it a brand new format like Ello..

I use Tumblr simply because I am a hardcore Ms Marissa Mayer fan and Flickr allows cross blogging to Tumblr but as I see it Tumblr is an extension.. I dont have interacting friends like Flickr and Ello .

I also have two other sites I dont use at all Fotothing and Xanga.. lol.. I am not on Buzznet ..the place where I learnt blogging ,, and writing an online picture journal.. but my oldest friends from Buzznet 2004 are connected to me o Flickr ,,Benn Bell Tom Andrews Yorrik.. Marjie Friar Tuck and others .

And I am back on Facebook ,, I keep deactivating my account ,,from time to time to remain sane and able .

I like to post textless images but than sometimes I give in to soliloquy and start talking to myself.. what you read is my seminal sorrow overheard as an echo... lol

I found a font that exactly suits the mood of this but I couldn't think of a single witty thing to put onto the photo, so I left it textless.

The Storyboard of Pain of the Shias of Mumbai by firoze shakir photographerno1

I shoot document Hinduism Sufism Christianity and the pain of the Shias as a blogger I shoot a lot of things , including the androgynous angst of the transgender, as a beggar poet I decipher the the lunacy of unliving on the streets , of the beggars the homeless and the hopeless.

As a Indian born Shia Muslim I have seven years as a blogger compiled the Shia ethos in the few major cities of India where Shias abound, I maybe a Shia opinionated but I have shot my culture my heritage truthfully .. I certainly dont proselytize or evangelize nor do I glorify the blood bath that I have shot of the Shias or the kama zani of little kids imposed by Shia parents ..I am a photo journalist blog first and last.

I am not a Mullah, I am not a preacher I am not a Shia promoter or spammer to say the least but I shoot prolifically you would if you were me nurtured on truth , honesty sincerity..I am never short of pictures and I will never have a picture or camera mental block.. I shoot without ridiculing the culture or people I shot , I become the religion I shoot.. I am a Shia Hindu and a Dam Madar Malang too.. above all a citizen of the world.

From 4 pm till 11 pm I shot the Chehlum event also known as Arbaeen or 40 day of Imam Hussains Martyrdom..what I am posting is a 11 GB card I shoot Raw and JPEG fine I have two more cards to upload I see my pictures when I blog them I hardly delete my pictures nor do I tweak them ...so it is raining blood sweat and tears at my Flickr photo stream..

After I complete this street lot of Chehlum procession that begins from Moghul Masjid and moves towards the Shia Rehmatabad cemetery via JJ Hospital Noor Bagh Dongri..I have another hardcore blood letting segment , pictures you will never see in any city of India ..the matam inside the cemetery is so profound so bloody that as photographer not scared of death I have shot it without fear inches away from flying blades daggers and swords..and yet as a still photographer I dont know I can grab everything around and my head that I cut on the streets does not stop bleeding as I am pushed pulled trampled I like the rest of the mourners are barefeet..

The Rehmatabad segment will take some time to come online my uploading takes time I dont resize my photos..there were two or three other photographers documenting this but I am perhaps the only one that posts all this on the Internet as a photo journalist photo blog..

I have cut my head here inside the cemetery but I cant shoot pictures the blood seeps inside my camera and being a diabetic my wounds take time to stop bleeding , and this wound that I incurred on my head required stitches but I have let it be , I had it dressed at a Bandra clinic and he pleaded me to have it stitched I told him just clean it bandage my head no ointment no medicines no anti biotics..

Most of my pictures are textless but this introduction was necessary .. for those seeing this first time
