One of my favourite memories of beautiful Christchurch in springtime I love this video so very much. I don't know how I managed to get those birds to fly across like that. Lol! It makes this little video so memorable.

Finally,[ ], computer professionals tend to disregard the truth. They tend to live in a fantasy world where there is no distinction between reality and fiction, between what computers are supposed to do and what they actually do, and between realistical expectations and dreams.

The Singer/ Songwriter was born in Queensland, Australia and now lives in New York.
He has described himself as a "quiet noise-maker" with a passion for ballads. He is most familiar to audiences for his voice and poignant songwriting.
So far he has received attention from John Cameron Mitchell`s film SHORTBUS (2006). He wrote the theme song “In the End” in addition to the songs "Little Bird", "Surgery" and "Upside Down" performed in the film by himself and featured on the soundtrack.
One of his early successes came with the soundtracks "Lithium Flower" and "Beauty Is Within Us" for the Japanese animation-serial Ghost in the Shell, as well as with the title song “Is It Real?”, for the animation-serial Cowboy Bebop. All being composed by Yoko Kanno .
His highly praised self-titled debut album was released in 2008, followed by his 2nd Studio Album „There Is An Ocean That Divides“ a year later and his 3rd solo-record „Gallantry`s Favorite Son“ in 2011.
Whoever has experienced Scott Matthew and his wonderful musicians live on stage is oddly touched. His emotional investment in song and singing is huge. His presence intensifies the disarming and immediacy of his work though is able to give an ease to the evening with two or three words between his songs.
He always loved to reinterpret the songs from his favorite singers, writers and composers and add them as encore to his setlists. This is still part of his concerts and the audience is looking forward every night to this" personal hitparade"
His new studio album UNLEARNED will be a collection of his personal favorites like Harvest Moon (Neil Young), No Surprises (Radiohead) or To Love Somebody (Bee Gees) reinterpret only with his mesmerizing, heart-melting and captivating voice and the Scott Matthew typical instrumentation of piano, strings, guitar and his ukulele. He also invited some guests as duet partner.
Learn to be pleasant without being foolish.
Learn to be serious without being melancholy.
Learn to be firm, without being self-willed.
Learn obedience without servility.
Learn patience without stupidity.
Learn to unlearn all your errors and finally cease to do evil, learn to do well.
~ John B. Mahan, 1838
This is a an old blog I bring forward via Aviary editing tool I use prolifically at Flickr to erase the color element of my pictures to etch my restless angst.... it was my 36000 blog that time when I posted it , in all humility typing with just one finger of a permanently damaged right hand I have crossed over 287000 blogs..Now read the old blog below..
Mr Shreekanth Malushte needs no introduction, this man is larger than life,he shot this picture.So though you dont see him, his presence fills my pictorial frame..
Mr Shreekanth Malushte is a ardent fan of George Eastman founder of Kodak company.
George Eastman was created by a restless God , and man in the restlessness of his mind created the Camera that changed all our lives.
The camera is an instrument of pranic healing..
It may have not healed the sickness that Mr George Eastman was undergoing when he ended it with the famous words in his suicide note..
"To my friends: My work is done. Why wait? ...
Mr Shreekanth Malushte teaches photography, at grass root level this ex professor of the prestigious Maharashtra College..
I was lucky to have been taught photography by him, when my friend Mr Subhash Solanki sold me my first camera Nikon F50..he handed me a visiting card of Mr Shreekanth Malushte..the rest is history.
My daughter learnt photography through Mr Malushte..waiting restlessly in the wings is Marziya Shakir my 9 month old grand daughter a child prodigy..
So I pray that God gives Mr Malushte a very long life so that Marziya can boast when she comes of age ..that she too learnt photography from Mr Shreekanth Malushte.
And yes Mr Shreekanth Malushte and his charming wife were there when her dad Asif Shakir got married..
Mr Malushte teaches an art called Unlearning Photography..
He makes you a camera instead, that you become the lens film and negative..
This can be crazy if it goes beyond the human limit..
Craziness is indeed a part of evolving in photography.
A photographer must be a poet to add the roundness to his pictorial soul.. an added asset and dimensional..
When I say poet or poetry I talk of a silence of the soul.. wordlessly through pictures.
Mr Sreekanth Malushte introduced me to the Photographic Society of India lovingly called PSI Mumbai that celebrates its annual day this 29 August 2008.
Through Mr Shreekanth Malushte who taught me my basics , I met my other two Gurus both giants and stalwarts Prof BW Jatkar and Dronacharya KG Maheshwari.
They took my love of photography to another high salon participation.. much before I became an incorrigible photo blogger.
On Dahi Handi Day I got a call from Mr Malushte if I could come to Jijamata Udhyan Byculla and model for his new students like I had done a few years back at the same venue.
I obliged and the picture shot by Mr Malushte is a result of this outing..
After shooting the colonial past , a few shots in the zoo I left to shoot the Dahi Handi..taking a cab from Byculla to Lalbagh.
So this is my new set at my Flickr photostream..
This is my 5099 post this month August.
36117 photoblogs since I joined Flickr in June 2007
Yes I would be homeless as photo blogger without Flickr..
From Flickr I cross blog to my other web sites.
All my pictures thoughts poetry originates at Flickr
You have to be signed in to see my world..for my graphic pictures of moharam and the naga sadhus and maha kumbh..my set on the transgender over 20000 images has been removed by me from public view ,, for personal reasons.
Wife of Mr Arun Saha a photographer in the Air Force ..this too is an outdoor photograph..Mr Maheshwaris lighting.
I met her husband he was returning from Lucknow like me we talked old times.
I remember the first time I met this couple at Photographic Society of India , I was rude to her husband , he had asked me a query on my Black n Whites , when we met for this shoot at Nasik under my Master KG Maheshwaris workshop , I apologized for my past behaviour..
As a photographer I had my faults but as a photo blogger I got rid of most , yes for me black is not white or grey..I am unlearning photography by becoming a photo blogger.

Shri Sadanand of Agni Akhada :
I was waiting outside the Akhada premises at Sevagram, to catch a glimpse of him, his bodyguards told me that he would come out for darshan, I took his picture after taking his permission,,turned my back and was going away, I was dressed in my normal trouser , shirt attire, not the exotic clothes that I wear.
He called me back, he looked deep into my eyes , said 'You are a Momin arent you' this is what the Shia are called among Muslims.I was shocked but did not betray any emotion , I said 'Yes '.
He said wash your hands , as a devotee gave me water , than he pulled out a silver coin presented to me, the moment I touched the coin, I went down on my knees automatically, he said look at the coin, the coin was the image of Mecca our Holy city it had the Kaaba on it, , he walked away without hearing my thanks.In the meanwhile all his devotees rushed up to me kissing the coin taken from my my hands.
This was the mysticism of the Kumbh , for a Muslim man like me.
As I walked away a man caught up with me, rich man gold in abundance on his body, he came to the point...He said 'Will you sell the coin I am offering you Rs 5000/I declined , pushed my way into the crowds.
I still have the silver coin of a reminder of my tryst with a spirtual destiny.
This is Hope and Hindutva the cornerstone of my cultural inheritance.
There was so much to learn to absorb at the Kumbh, the Kumbh is not just an important part of a Hindu calendar, the Kumbh is a chapter of your after life opening to the present.
I start the Kumbh experience, these are pictures embedded in memories, the picture quality has been reduced in terms of Dpi..as there is much I have to post , within the limit set by Bloggers inMb.I do not intend taking an upgrade , as this is a purely sharing religious sentiment with absolutely no commercial craving.
A lot of people approached me to buy off my Hindu, Shia , Sufi Christian images , though I was broke sometimes but never interested.. I got it free I give it back to the community I took from..I may be not as talkative or self explanatory on the next posts, so read the silence of a spirituality in my pictures.These are timeless moments of my unlearning photography.

You learned men, and such as learning love,
Vouchsafe to read this rude unlearned verse;
For stones are doombe, and yet for mannes behove,
God lends them tongues sometymes for to rehearse
Such worth of words as worthiest wittes may pearse;
Yea stones oftymes, when bloode and bones be rott,
Do blase the brute which ells might be forgott:
And in that heap of carved stones doth lye
A worthy Knight, whose life, in learning shedd,
Did make his name to mounte above the skie.
With sacred skill unto a King he redd,
Whose towarde youth his famous praises spredde;
And he therefore to courtly life was called,
Who more desyred in study to be stalled.
Philosophy had taught his learned mynde
To stand content with contrye quyet lyie;
Wherein he dwelt as one that was assynde
To guard the same from sundry stormes of stryfe:
And yet when persecuting rage was ryfe,
His helping hand did never fail to stay
His country's staff, but help it up alway.
No highe advance, nor office of availe,
Could tempte his thoughts to row beyond his reache;
By broont of bookes he only did assayle
The forte of Fame, whereto he made his breach.
With tyre of trewthe, whiche God's goode wordc doth teache,
The wreathe he woore was dewe for his degree;
He neyther rose by riche rewarde nor fee;
And yet although he bare his sayles so lowe,
The gales of grace did speed his course so faste.
That in his lyfe he did righte well bestowe
His children, all before their pryme was paste.
And linckte them so as they be lyke to lasle.
What should I say, but only this in summe,
Beatus hic qui timet Domiuum?
That only skille, that learninge beares the belle,
And that of skill I thoughte (poor stone) to treate;
That such as lyke to use their learninge well,
Mighte reade theis lines, and therewith oft repeate
How here on earthe his gyfte from God is great,
Which can employ his learninge to the best;
So did this Knighte whiche here with me dothe reste.
"Circumstances do not make the man; they merely reveal him to himself."
- Epictetus -

Scenes from a retreat in the Catskills. Nineteen visionaries spend a week at work on new projects and strategies for wholesome and sovereign living.
The Catholic Faith is the universal faith; it is not the faith of the pope or the faith of some higher Vatican officials. Therefore, it is very comforting to know that there is a point of unity for all nations, for all races. The ideal of the Universal Faith is to develop the awareness among the peoples that we are all one Body, one Spirit, under one God.
The Catholic faith is not a doctrine. It is not a series of dogmas one must assent to in order to escape eternal damnation, no, and faith is a personal encounter with Jesus Christ who lives after giving his life on the cross for the salvation of all. The Catholic Church is not an institution, nor a beaurocracy, much less a corporation. Although it is often not much more than this, at the core of it's being is the life in the Spirit of Christ who sent forth the Spirit as the He himself was sent into the world, by the Father, Creator of all things seen and unseen.
The beauty of the Catholic Church lies not in the art and elegance neither of its temples nor in the science and eloquence of its doctors. It is not in the speculations of its theologians. No, not at all. The beauty of it is that by which Jesus himself is amazed, the fact that God, the Father of all has revealed its secrets to the lowly and concealed them from the learned, yes because that has been the fathers choice he praises him. Yes this is the beauty of the Catholic Church, the treasure that is now kept in living tabernacles, in simple men and women of all races, suffering, poor, and unlearned.
When one evangelizes among the undocumented immigrants in this country, when one visits the detentions centers and finds a robust faith in the lowly who place all their trust in the Lord, one realizes it is all a wonderful mystery and that little do we know about God or his ways to deal with souls. It is sad, I believe, to see the Catholic Church become a corporation where the spiritual leaders act as administrators. Where the faith crisis is so deep that people hold to activity and statistics to measure their relation to God.
What I question about the Catholic faith is its leadership, the priesthood, and the one-sided decision process of their ruling policies. The worst scandal in the Church is not of a sexual nature, nor the riches and the lifestyle, no, for me the worst scandal is the lack of love in the Church, the lack of community, the lack of human relationships within the congregations. I see a polarization in the Catholic Church that could end up in a new schism. On the one side those aware of social justice and love for the poor, and on the other hand, the orthodox and their love of comfort, good living, knowledge, and the pope.
The Catholic Church is in crisis. That is obvious, but what to do? Go back to medieval practices, or Latin masses? Yes, perhaps we should go back, even further, back to the first centuries of Christianity, long before Constantine, and recover the spirit of humility, simplicity and discover Jesus in our world today as he heals the sick, gives life to the dead, and calms the storm. No point in having the pope come down to America if Jesus is not welcome in the hearts and minds of Catholics; we are followers of Christ not of the pope. We are witnesses of his resurrection not teachers of religion. We are called to live in the Spirit, not to rule the wealthy and to stand in front of huge crowds while the world is in darkness.
I took this photo of my boyfriend at Grounds for Sculpture.
He was reading the following excerpt from Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself"
"I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the beginning and the end,
But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.
There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor any more youth or age than there is now,
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.
Urge and urge and urge,
Always the procreant urge of the world.
Out of the dimness opposite equals advance, always substance and increase, always sex,
Always a knit of identity, always distinction, always a breed of life.
To elaborate is no avail, learn’d and unlearn’d feel that it is so.
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams,
Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical,
I and this mystery here we stand."

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." --- Alvin Toffler
I am the artist Sparro Kennedy, and I am dedicated to promoting the idea that violence is not a necessary element of humanity. For the past 2 1/2 years, I have been practicing. I have criss-crossed the United States learning, relearning, and unlearning ideas, techniques and processes.
I learned my techniques from the world. For example, my brush-stroke style came from a gentlemen who worked as a super in New York. He only painted walls with brushes, and he taught me how to “pat the wall”. I learned pastels from a friend in Detroit who taught me to “use my whole body, like when you dance…” I learned watercolors from a date in New Orleans who bought me a drink and said “Do you baby, and when I come back, I want to see something.” A street art vendor in New York brought me the best brushes I ever used, and told me that the secret to acrylics, is “using the best brush for your stroke.” A prisoner serving time for a crime he didn’t commit, helped me understand shading, and developed my blending skills. My friends, and some strangers, have bought me paper, canvas, pencils, and many other things to support my journey to becoming an artist. I owe it to everyone, including myself, to give it a shot.
As an artist, I know absolutely nothing about art. I am completely concerned about my product and progress (as far as I am concerned, other artists paint like me…I don’t care how old they are). I love to look at it when I get a chance. I can stare at good brush strokes for hours. The artists that I do have knowledge of I appreciate their work, and I am so glad that they were able to live and create. Elijiana Forto is the most prolific artist I know. She has mastered brush technique.
I realize that the world has impeccable standards for photographic reproduction of art, but I do not have access to that privileged right now, so I am giving you what I have (cellphone pics). Beaux Cauchemar is my current line. It took me six months to develop this body of work. It is the first completed body of work I have created, and I am incredibly proud of it…even though I think its terrible. I appreciate my sponsor who provided the funding for the space I needed to create the exhibit, and I would like to give a special thanks to friend of mine who provided me with the paint to do the jobs(He is homeless, and he created the resources necessary to help me). I would also like to thank my “silent ninja” for the paper on which the series was created.
I want to be able to support myself, and fix my legal troubles through the appreciation of my art. I hope that people viewing my website and pages understand that I appreciate their appreciation. I would appreciate their appreciation more, if it was tangible. Please comment, like my page, and spread the word, so that I won’t be destitute my entire life.
<3 Sparro

He has described himself as a "quiet noise-maker" with a passion for ballads. He is most familiar to audiences for his voice and poignant songwriting.
So far he has received attention from John Cameron Mitchell`s film SHORTBUS (2006). He wrote the theme song “In the End” in addition to the songs "Little Bird", "Surgery" and "Upside Down" performed in the film by himself and featured on the soundtrack.
One of his early successes came with the soundtracks "Lithium Flower" and "Beauty Is Within Us" for the Japanese animation-serial Ghost in the Shell, as well as with the title song “Is It Real?”, for the animation-serial Cowboy Bebop. All being composed by Yoko Kanno .
His highly praised self-titled debut album was released in 2008, followed by his 2nd Studio Album „There Is An Ocean That Divides“ a year later and his 3rd solo-record „Gallantry`s Favorite Son“ in 2011.
Whoever has experienced Scott Matthew and his wonderful musicians live on stage is oddly touched. His emotional investment in song and singing is huge. His presence intensifies the disarming and immediacy of his work though is able to give an ease to the evening with two or three words between his songs.
He always loved to reinterpret the songs from his favorite singers, writers and composers and add them as encore to his setlists. This is still part of his concerts and the audience is looking forward every night to this" personal hitparade"
His new studio album UNLEARNED will be a collection of his personal favorites like Harvest Moon (Neil Young), No Surprises (Radiohead) or To Love Somebody (Bee Gees) reinterpret only with his mesmerizing, heart-melting and captivating voice and the Scott Matthew typical instrumentation of piano, strings, guitar and his ukulele. He also invited some guests as duet partner.
The inaugural Femmepowerment brunch sought to provide opportunities for empowerment, support, learning and unlearning, and promotion of women-centered research, events, and organizing on campus and beyond.

Marziya Shakir Shoots Her Guru on the Nikon D 80
Guroraadi Anaadischa
Guruh Parama Daivatam
Guroh Parataram Naasti
Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha.
Meaning: The Guru has neither beginning nor end; the Guru is the ultimate God (in the visible form). There is nothing beyond this Guru principle, and I salute such a Guru.
The first and the last person I am teaching the art of unlearning photography is a gifted child all of two and a half years old and who holds the Nikon D 80 like a piece of clay that molds thoughts into pictures.
I introduced Marziya my grand daughter to the camera from the second day of her life on this planet , before she saw me she saw the spectral light of the camera.
For me the camera is a holy scripture that binds my soul to Truth.
The camera is also a Messenger of Peace and connects me to you through a picture for life.
I have in a way demystified the allure of the camera I have bought it from Cartier Bressons hallowed pedestal into the hands of a child and for me a child is greater than God ..because the child is the torchbearer of Gods Godliness in all its virtues without flaws..
And here my blog will hit you real real hard and it is not part of this introspection of my soul or my grand daughters.
The child is what you are the child is you your ancestry your heritage the child is all what you put into it as a plant , the way you nourished it and much more.
The picture above was shot by my grand daughter as the ultimate honesty and as a Guru Dakshina of her love for me and the camera.
I am really hurt as a human being as a Muslim I am fasting when somebody harms the tenets of Islam or Ramzan the month of Piety he harms me my culture my upbringing and my values.
I am a Shia Muslim but I am a Muslim all the same and Islam is a banyan tree with several branches and roots sustained by Allah His Holy Prophet and Ahle Bayt.
I have begin my quote with a Hindu text such is the power of my cultural attachment to my country its ethos and its people.
I was saddened like you of reading the brutal murder in cold blood of a 19 year old girl by a Muslim lad of the same age and whatever his reasons or his grouse murder is murder and taking someones life is the worst crime I think.
And considering this is a premeditated murder as reported in Midday as he was in possession of the knife for three days.
So what comes to mind did he get up for Sairi Namaz broke his fast and than did this unwholesome deed or did he skip Tarabi I mean Ramzan is a time of forgiveness a time of patience calm.. And I leave this without sentimentalizing an issue that is being investigated .
So where did society his parents his religion go wrong..he is not a illiterate guy and only 19.
So when I am teaching my grand daughter two and a half years old to shoot the beggars on the streets with my own camera I am definitely not teaching her photography..
And this episode was really bothering me so I add it to my angst on this post.
Repentance Guilt Betrayal Love what is all this and what use is Education if you dont have culture or humanity.
So in a way I am also learning from my grand daughter what I failed to learn from my kids as I was an alcoholic when they were growing up..I do have regrets but I cannot change the hands of the clocks..
But I have changed myself and the spirit of the disciple is changing and resurrecting the dead soul of a Guru.
#
Na Guror Adhikam Tatwam
Na Guror Adhikam Tapaha
Tatwa Gnyaanaat Param Naasti
Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha.
Meaning: There no greater principle than the Guru; there is no greater penance than the Guru; There is no greater knowledge than meditation on such a Guru. I salute such a Guru.
So the Disciple is Also the Guru of the Guru..
And this post is dedicated to my Gurus KG Maheshwariji Mr Shreekanth Malushte and late Prof BW Jatkar.
ps dont miss my wife included in the frame too ...
in a city that was once called Bombay or bambai
bollywoods most wanted blogger no1 from Mumbai
different religions rituals through
my blogs I don’t deny.. some poetry
not traditional nor iambic pentameter
five feet apply no theatrics
simple english of emotions
of pain of mockery
or anything that
meets my camera eye
that on the streets I espy
unlearning photography
unlearning poetry
beneath metaphoric layers
I bring them out
as pictorial angst
me my feet touching clayey
earth and my fingers reaching
for a blindfolded lie
gouged out eyes like
god who is with a beggars bowl
having abdicated the skies
reborn again as a loser
no surprise
machinery made by man
a god made man running amok
killing other men like mice
holding the destiny of his manhood
in a vaginal crevice of a vice
playing superman ..but a
also like god a beggar in disguise
with ungouged unblindfolded eyes
his own transitional treachery
leaves behind for the
generation next before he dies
a loss of an inheritance
of a father a holy ghost
a son
an anti Christ..
papal piracy
a con of a super heist

poem no 833
I played baseball competitively from age 6 or so to 15 and picked up golf around age 12.
After attending about 8 baseball practices in 9th grade at my high school, I decided I'd rather be playing golf all day for my school team rather than spend 3 hours a day practicing baseball.
This is the point where I unlearned a baseball swing and replaced it with the golfing variety.
If you know anything about a baseball swing, the player's body shouldn't look anything like this at contact but for a golf one, it's just about right. Oh well. I'll gladly take the trade.
