Good old days..clicking Photographs used to be the job of a “Photographer”. ..man with most sophisticated/big camera in town. His camera Bag and Tripod used to be bigger than his camera. Even for clicking Passport photographs he would give ten instructions dus baar mundi ko haath laga ke “Beta not that stiff” “relax karo”..will touch your head and tilt at his favorite angle. For me that was BAD Touch L. I hated it and when I used to be almost ready he would blind me with a flash which would be good enough to play a Day/Night cricket match. Finally this would get over..You think? I would hear him telling my dad “Aapka beta aankh band kar leta hai ” Wat wat? You snitch!! What do you expect me to stare into your flash machine & grow up to star in Bansali’s movie. Dad would give me ‘that’ look and I would find myself on that doomed stool reliving “Beta not that stiff” “relax karo” torture again.
Now with every Tom, Ramesh & Harry moving around with their Canons and Nikons D 235..EOSX with 123.5475 MM blah blah lens and machines.I can just imagine the poor photographer’s plight. Shaadi biyaah main this so called “Photographer Bhaiya” is the one with the most outdated machine trying to compete with these Tom Ramesh & Harry and their costly equipment. I know it’s kind of sad impacts their livelihood but #Devil in me says “Payback time” . I told ya Mere Tom Ramesh & Harry aayenge. Feels like walking up to them and saying ““Bhaiya itna stiff nahi..thoda tilt karo apna sar ..ISO kitna rakha…areey shutter speed gadbad hai ” hahahaha J
