A Born Photographer Looks Like This


a nikon d 80
round her neck
you cant miss
she shoots
the soul of humanity
a single shot
pictorial bliss
a memory
with a life kiss
photographers
are made in heaven
place in a mothers womb
is the gist
recreating gods beauty
as it exists
a born photographer is
gods gift to mankind
a thought
you cant dismiss
innocence
masters the art
of living
just like this
snakelike charm
tantric kundalini
serpents hiss
unleashing a
 holistic power
that wont go
amiss

Poet of Pain Shot By Marziya Shakir On Nikon D 80



on the viewfinder
of her childs soul
she saw what
she had to shoot
blood flesh tears
of her genetic roots
to the person
who taught her
to hold the body
of the  camera
in the crucible
 of  her hands
she pays a poetic
praiseworthy tribute
photographers
are born
not factory made
run of the mill
manufactured
for camera clubs
 'she tells the truth
2 year 11 months old
solemnly cute
the worlds youngest
street photographer
beyond  fu*** f stops
beyond photography
teaching money
making institutes
in the name of
photography
collecting loot
light and shade
shadows silhouette
highlights soundless
ruminatively  mute 
a path she  takes
 'she reroutes
the color chart '
the angle of confusion
she refutes
she is marziya shakir
born in humility
your blessings
her gratitude
one thing
i definitely 
taught her
was not
to make her
a celebrity
 or media
photographer
with fu**** attitude
to be humble
to what she shot
never never be rude 
crass or crude
the streets where
god lives among
the poor for the poor
like the poor
with his zealous
zephyr like zenitude

Kalicharan Shot By Marziya Shakir on Nikon D80



Its time for me to clear the mystery of the man Marziya shot at our house.

His name is Kalicharan he is from Aligarh and is a professional masseur , he comes in place of my regular masseur Bhura also from Aligarh but on an extended holiday , he has kept Kalicharan to take care of his clients till his absence.


Both Bhura and Kalicharan are migrants who eke out a living they stay near Mumbadevi and cater to the businessmen who visit Mumbai for trade .

Kalicharan was quite shocked when Marziya took my camera and took this shot totally on target , he wants a framed copy to show to his family back home.

When Bhura comes back from his long leave Kalicharan will not call me or approach me this is part of their professional ethics.

As I am not Kalicharan regular client , but when Kaicharan goes on leave Bhura will take charge of them.

These guys are not like the masseurs you meet at the citypoints or beaches etc, these are respected , clean and good at their jobs.

They charge reasonably and they are popularized by word of mouth, I have referred Bhura to most of my close friends.

After Kalicharan finishes with me he does Marziyas head and Marziya has watched them since she was a tiny child , so Marziya is a good learner and massages my legs ,Marziya makes chapattis , Marziya makes tea under the guidance of my wife and Marziya is a good inborn photographer as can be gauged by this shot of her.
