This evening I completed 72000 blogs at Flickr in 21 months..
Much as I would have liked to register my Flickr site for Blog Awards it is not possible as Flickr is not considered as a blog stream.. and even the IndiBloggies treat is much as though it was leprous or contagious by nature to say the least..
I removed all my blogs from Indiblogger as one of the erstwhile member had the impertinence to post a comment on my thread that it is a good policy not having Flickr eligible for Indibloggie awards..this is a typical narrow mindedness of a low level vile Indian mind..crabs in a bottle mind set..
Anyway my Hijdaeunuchblog has been nominated for the Photoblog Awards 2009..I thank all of you, those who voted for me and wrote comments too, it was Magic Eye or Deepak Ambebal a long time friend from Fotothing.com who urged me to register for the same..without his initiative I would have not ventured into this arena..
I have other blog sites too, at Word Press but I chose the Hijdaeunuchblogs to showcase the pathetic condition of the Indian transgender the Hijra , who is crushed by the nature of his gender ambiguity, treated like a low specimen and supported by the government in this deep bias to his existence ..to destroy him completely you have the draconian sodomy law, a heritage of the British Vampire called Article 377..Naz Foundation and other agencies are trying to decriminalize this anti-human law but it is a very difficult task in India..Homosexuality is frowned upon by most of the people in India..
I am not a Hijra activist but through my blogs I have shown their life up close , and in this respect I have the blessings of my Hijra Guru Laxmi Narayan Tripathi..
This Award is for their community..so please VOTE for me at

I want the world to see the Hijras through my camera eyes and through my photo blogs I project this on the reader and viewers consciousness..

Photographerno1..is a Shia mystic..they don't make like this any more.. he walks on fire,self flagellates,cuts his forehead each Moharam.. he is sane as sane as you or the guy next door,..
HE WALKS BARE FEET..MOCKING AND KISSING THE GROUND WITH HIS FEAT.. THEY SHED TEARS TOO..SOAKED IN BLOOD OF PAIN.
I shoot pictures of pain , as I see pain in the viewfinder of my soul, my poems are my personal thoughts , perhaps they are a bit opinionated.I am not a Mullah or a preacher ,
I give space I don't need to grab attention.
If you want to comment on my pictures please respect my views even if you don't adhere to it..
If you try to shove your views down my gullet I will delete it.. You don't like my pictures move ahead..it suffocates me too answering stupid comments..instead shoot pictures that heal..stop proselytizing your beliefs on me .
Please don't defecate your thoughts as comments..find some more suitable place close to your home...
Read me only as a Photographer.
