I am in a hurry to complete this documentary of Moharam in Mumbai 2009, I dont have any fancy equipment just a badly beaten bruised Nikon D 80.

My Powershot Canon G9 got stolen on 9 Moharam between Moghul Masjid and Kaisar Bagh.

I run a shop but every spare moment I upload my Moharam pictures , so please dont think I sit at at comp 24/7 ..I don’t .

I do all this late at night till the wee hours of dawn.

Most of the time thanks to You Telecom my net is dead  most of the time and a very slow connection.

Normally what I shot during Moharam I posted the same to this  Shia site  of mine ..

But this time it has not been possible so all my stuff is at Flickr only.

Now for those Shias who are coming to my Flickr website, I request you to see the Shia sets and collections only..

I am a photo journalist and a blogger I write and shoot other religiosity , I shoot  transgender, I shoot the pain of the commercial worker, their lives of utter neglect and disgust..

I have a pro account at Flickr so it has become an archive of sorts I can post pictures without any uploading limit, and I post a picture as I shot it without resizing it at all.

I thought this disclaimer was necessary..

My Shia articles and poems are in a set called Shia poetry.

This time I have given my Flickr URL to a few people ..and also got a lot of people to join Flickr a peaceful photography exposition of the best photographers in the world.

There maybe a lot of stuff on Flickr you might not like , please dont see it as simple as that.

Blogging is an expensive affair and time consuming one..

Only to maintain my Firoze Shakir.com site I pay almost Rs 6000 an year.

Uploading images at Word Press is not free …so a Pro account at Flickr solves all my problems.

If you need pictures please contact me , dont use my pictures without my explicit permission, I have taken pains to shoot it , bare feet, tired , exhausted and in a severe diabetic condition, I certainly deserve a courtesy line for my pictures or my text.

This Moharam 2009 I have shot and uploaded over 9000  pictures at Flickr.com..a rough guess

ALL MY MOHARAM PICTURES ARE IN A SHIA COLLECTION AT FLICKR TOTAL 77 SETS
