Hi,
I went to a famous authors talk last evening in Coimbatore with my friend. There were many things which I liked about him but something which hurt me deeply was the way he asked a Photographer “Brother. Enough” when he was trying to take a photograph. If a writer is doing his work, a photographer has all rights to do his work. I always wonder why people treat a photographer like this. We have been insulted and humiliated publicly by several people. If you are so smart and don’t like being photographed, can you live without being photographed at all- All your life?
Then why show off when someone is photographing you? I wanted to make a site dedicating to photographers because people must learn this decency to respect a Photographer. You can say “No” but be gentle. Like a writer, a photographer plays an important role in recording human history.
Who knows? 1000 years later, Human beings will be born with 5 hands and they would like to collect all photos of their ancestors who had only two.
Respect a Photographer and Men,Women working in Media. I know they might seem like annoying you but they are doing a key role to record human history.
Anyway, apart from this small harsh behavior of his, I admired the writer and his ability to speak.
I saw the books he wrote. So many of them and so many pages.
When ever I write, I used to get a feeling of restlessness in me. I used to think when am I going to complete working on this article. In 2002, I worked for 6 month on a full length movie script and during that time too, I had similar feeling. Some of us who are into creative field doesn’t have patience to work on what we do. We hurry a lot and we want things to get done without much dedication and hardwork. One must learn patience and pure passion from these great writers.
I came home and told my Mom about the speech and how some people are able to write so much.
She told me, that Goddess Saraswathi gifts some people with such ability.
I pray Saibaba and Goddess Saraswathi to bless me with ability to create with a peaceful mind.
Anyway, Now, its too late for me.
