Firoze Shakir
Photographerno1..is a Shia mystic a Dam Madar Malang ..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.
Flickr is where all my posts blogs poems originate..
In a way Flickr is my homesite -

I feel the winds as they blow
the golden sunset glow
like a little paper boat
into the waters of an ocean
I flow
my destiny
not yet ready to kiss
dollar littered
American shores
I am happy shooting
hijra beggars
eunuch kids
hijra whores
my karma
my dharma
my bare feet
my diabetic sores
my camera like vision
to a deaf and dumb god
above implores
when it rains it really pours
man two legged animal
crawling on all fours
open windows of my mind
my future stares at me
a shut door
a whimper held
to this leopards roar
a chant of my faith
blood sweat tears and gore
dam madar beda par
a malang and more

"I was spellbound when I saw Firoze's very unique photo stream. He captures life and religion around him like no other photographer. He shoots photos on all religions which is a unique skill. He even presents some small moments in life which we overlook. His photography has depth and meaning.
Very nice work Firoze sir, keep it coming!"22nd September, 2011

"An enigma if ever there was one!
Prolific artist who stamps his genius on everyday mundane sights.
Pours his anguish and joy at all that he feels and senses.
Conveys it all with a sense of joy of sharing.
Am proud to know him and say so.
Long live Firoze!"28th August, 2009

shankargallery says:
"I found Firoze Shakir on Flickr since he has many photos!
Many people take good photos of things on Flickr but they "See Life from the Outside", Firoze Shakir takes photos 'From" his heart and 'From' how he experiences Life. I love how he shares a 'Love of India' and 'Humanity', that is evident in all his works. Firoze Shakir fights on through all obstacles, and constrictions in the BlogoSphere. He has shared Allah and his Deep Faith with us all.
I am so happy Firoza Shakir is part of my life."16th August, 2009

"Me encantan la reportería gráfica que hace Firoze
Me ha echo conocer miles de cosas de la India. Firoze muestra la cotidianidad de su lugar tiene una fotografía para cada uno de los rincones en donde pasan miles de cosas interesantes. Muestra sus personajes, olores, colores, dolores, belleza, creencias, Firoze es consciente de lo que significa su tierra y como transmitirla a través de la fotografía.
Que Bueno!"28th July, 2009

MetalOllie says:
"Firoze has my absolute respect, as a photographer, a poet, and an ardent campaigner for what he believes in. He has a heart as big as an ocean, and is one of the most gentle, likeable and genuinely interesting people I have encountered on Flickr. I am privileged to have him in my contacts, and proud to call him my friend. He has supported my photostream, given me confidence, and motivation to be a better person. What more can one ask for... Thank you Firoze, and may you be photographing for many, many years :)"

"first of all i am alive because of him...this is personal and none of anyones business..
My spirit and enthusiasm in the past year towards my photography is a great deal owed to my relationship to this man. He might be the most interesting person i have ever known in my life.
I have dedicated my two exhibitions in Manhattan to him and because of his similar interests in what we shoot we share a great deal of unspoken comradery and mutual admiration.
I have met the man personally needing to seek him out in MUMBAI to see if such a man really lived breathed and lusted for life as he does.
I shall meet him again in December to shoot Muharram again and lots of other things, INDIA needs no introduction.
Firoze Shakir, has made my life more interesting more exciting and more curious. I am honored to have met him and hopefully will go through my life influenced and inspired by him. GOD BLESS HIM!"3rd July, 2009

Stephen J. Alexander says:
"aside from being one of the most prolific photographers I have encountered, Firoze conveys SOUL with his photos and with the accompanying written word. A man I would want to meet; sadly several continents and many thousands of miles separate us, but happily the internet connects us."

"He's a Blogger and a Poet
and wouldn't you know it,
an accomplished Tailor, to boot.
He's so far-out that he's in
with Trannies ( in the skin )
and their tricks, that he picks
for a shoot.
See, he's a prolific photobug -
not a Papparazzi photo thug
shooting freely, in pursuit
of the downcast and unwanted
who forever are haunted :
low life in hi-res his route.
Wordplay captures Swordplay
for his cache; with sash-ay
he flashes his rings
on his fingers and ears
and yet, his sight no one fears
for it's just simple Love that he brings.
Catch him on Flickr
see him at Wordpress
marvel at all that he's done
in this life. He's resolving,
injustices absolving
Firoze IS Photographer No. 1 !"26th May, 2009

Merry Rebel Photography says:
"Sir Firoze Shakir,
a shia mystic,
my guru in poetry,
my inspiration in photography.
He taught me,
through his work,
to respect the castrated,
and to love the deprived.
Demarcations of nations,
can't set us apart,
accept this humble dedication, o Sir!
from your counterpart."16th February, 2009

i am bernardo says:
"Firoze's vision is broad, wide...open. He shoots from the heart and captures life in all of the various ways it can be captured (and then some). His photos move me. His photos make me laugh. His photos make me question and think.
Firoze has so many talents and I think they all compliment his photography. Delve into his photos and settle in for the journey.

"Firoze is unique, there is no one like him.
He is a genuine artist, a poet, a journalist, a witness of his time and his work is a beautiful legacy for all of us in order to, not only undesrtand modern India, but also understand the deepest part of our soul, whoever we are, wherever we are...
This generous "magician" must love life more than anything and he manages to share his passion for Humanity through his images.
Bahut shukriya Firoze for being what you are...

"This man has one of the more insane profiles I have ever seen on flickr. That said, many of his photos are simply amazing, and there are so many of them. He is a great resource for contemplating the diversity of the world in its forms."
