ILLINFORMATION pg[3]

The  criticism @ Higher level

          Something kindled the inertness of the photographer to become nascent states. A chemist could explain what a nascent state as a state of very violent&reactive ness. Puzzled what those different state would mean, you are suggested to watch the recent Tamil Movie `Anniyan'. Please recommend this film to all the staff at S:P.

          Now the reasons behind the transition

1.                The content worthiness of your magazine to a consumer: What I mean is: In Better photography with your good self as the editor.You had a series of article on zone -system, the best of your presentation, flawlessly at 50 rupees per issue long time back.

Now how could it be justifiable, for a less informative issue on photography but essentially on gala and Thamaza, exhibiting your pride, selling for Rupees 60. It has consumed nearly 15 pages, sponsored by some one else, but at the disposal of readers.....Reg: Feb . issue

2.                Pg: 72 - exhibits a very substandard photograph. You would know what I mean, even the photograph in the cover page of the issue has more photographic standard. Not a criticism about the photographer , but your Editorial should follow certain norms of standards , to what that could be published

3.                 Pg: 98 - look as if it is advertisement for the very studio, nothing about what kind of out put / results the studio has produced / could produce - this time it is about their pride and pompousness instead of knowledge content.

4.                 These gala, thamaza or the pompousness to an unaffordable photographer’s sensuality is an insult not a subject of envy.

5.                To add to these all at pg 64-65 Q&A - by Mr.Ronnie, Honestly there is no intention to dispute / contradict his writing purposely. But unfortunately there happens to be grave mistakes in the content of his answer in the issue of Feb. also and just recurring.

6.                 Mr. Nobody is surprised, He just inquires, were there no complaints / contradiction from any other photographer?

What is evident from the error of theoretical nature in photography is that,

a.** Either due to the carelessness of the contributor of the content, which is not verified (by a centralized team or by a competent person that an editor should)

b.**or in other words they are not knowledgeable beyond certain level.

 But that ‘beyond certain level’ is the basic requisite to run a magazine of this nature.

It is not the prestige of the magazine that is at stake but the reliability and authenticity of information that an enthusiastic photographer or any reader would blindly accept your writing as the facts. So that a violation in the point of view of the consumer. Therefore Mr. Nobody is poised to defend. He is not solely particular about your magazine, but it could be just any one who takes undue advantage, on either monetarily or ill informed wise, you are the first one he just happed to stumble upon. He would wish to do with others, so that the accumulated information would be published as an e-book.

But if you are determined not to heed to  Mr. Nobody, he  will still be, expected to say two words.

          just“Get Lost”.

Today it is 8^th march 2006, Instinct told me to checkup the previous issues. I took up very First issue in April 2005. Among those sensibly written, this time it is Mrs. karupa Gandhi, and Aneesh bhasin who have contributed a small mistake but has a grave impact on the very understanding and of how you are dealing to write a technical matter.

 the word “Grave” could be defined as: a mistake that is much severe then for eg., than a simple typing error .again for eg., in the same issue at pg 6 you have simply omitted 1 hence it reads as if altogether new type of Zoom lens of focal length of 50-50mm, just check it .

On the grave part of mistake,   if you could not able to locate a clue is it is at the bottom part of pg; 65 “titled lens magnification”. The photography of Farokh is unusually good. I am only giving this reference to show, what, a good photography should be. 

Mr. Nobody is again surprised why there is no one to complain about these mistakes for all these 10 months.
