in the beginning was light.. and it is this light that guides us to see the darkness ahead.i was a pictorial photographer.. till the intenet gave me a cruSUFFIX to carry on my shoulders.. to the kind of photograph i do.. the suffix of NO1.and iam a sufi too. a sufi in thought and a shia born.. who belives in the religion of man..in a faith called humanity . i became photographerno1.. not by choice but by default.. i am 2 months or perhaps 3 months on the net, 1 finger typing and all. i am into photography not for money not at all.. but i was lucky to meet mr shrikant malushte who taught me how to get srarted about 4 years back.. made me a life member at photographic society of india a grand old dame of an institution 65 years old.. with a luminaries as photographers.. mr unwalla, mr kashinath. mr bhardwaj, mitter bedi and a freind and follower of henri cartier bresson.. the equally famous sam tata. from canada. one of the founders of this society pooularly called PSIwas mr k g maheshwari..arps,, apsa and so many other syllabic attachments.
mr maheshwari is the grandfather of indian photography..he shoots like yousef karsh.. he took me under his wings.. never taught me photography.unbelievable but true.. he tied a cloth on my eyes..
and said.. i baptise you photographerno1. i learnt to see in darkness.. a lesson on light then the to fly on the wings of phtography with my eyes closed was taught to me by b w jatkar.. master of black and white in india. once i fell in the net.. i joined fan art review as PHOTOGRAPHERNO1 but as a free member i could only review crumbs thrown at me pictures of other photographers.. prior to this i had never reviewd or written.. from 28th aug and till 12th spt.. i had accumulated 1557 point 5 blue stars.. while my soul was being throttled every second.. photographerno1 upgrade to premier membership... i havent. but i learnt a new dimension in photography thanks to fan art review..i hope cindy has a change of heart and upgrades me.. as a honrary premier member. so at fan art none saw my pictures not even my profile photo. next was mr anthony batt, and buzznett.. my life changed dramatically..i thank anthony, honey toes., yorrick, an unsaintly friar tuck, drunk geko.. the master of nudes, xris... and his mastery over all languages and the visual language of photography. i live on buzznet.. and they the other buzzie live in me. i am.. the mystical minstrel PHOTOGRAPHERNO1 HERE TOO.
then came mr ramseys fotothing... i hope t play a long innings here
