Nerjis Asif Shakir ..Born With a Camera Eye



This entire lot of Nerjis over 40 pictures were shot by Assad , and though he is a master of 3 D and digital manipulation , he loves to shoot Nerjis with my camera ,, and she loves him too ..she calls him Phupha.

But Nerjis world centers around me completely , earlier I would call her a Malang as even till date she goes non stop in circles that is called Kaif ..but I think her poetic ethos is beyond the scope of malang.. and she is a total Shia kid, the moment she hears sound be it music or song her hand goes to her chest and she begins doing Matam.

At Bandra my wife told me her dad has a tough time because when he takes her out everyone knows her shopkeepers kids , beggars ..and a stray dog who likes her will start following them around.. my son goes hyper.. with this undue adulation .

Mornings she searches me out and our work begins cleaning the bird cage , feeding the birds , the camera laptop lessons all seamlessly absorbed by her .

Coloring doodling .. she tries her hand at almost everything.. riding the big bike.. and following me all around.

If I go down she wants to come down too, and I take her for short periods I kill my boredom too.

So being a grand father is a huge gift of God and than being a grand father to three girls all prodigiously talented and creative too.

And the camera documents those moments as inspiration to others to record the joy the bliss of your child..moments that will be gone forever ..I have kept some of those moments alive.

I dont shoot her all the time but I do shoot her having fun.. and all this was shot by Assad on a 50 mm lens at a higher ISO.
