What have I done to you? Yes, what have I done to you to deserve this..?
OK, what do Photojournalists & JoeGoaUk have in common? I am sure you all know, JoeGoaUk is also a sort of photojournalist in his own way. The real difference is, his is not a profession or he is not doing it for his living or for money or for that matter, not for fame nor there is any motive behind it or if there is one then it must be ‘his hobby’. Few weeks ago, I sent a post thanking every one re: Thank you ( life is too short..) Also copied to GT/H See it here http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@lists.goanet.org/msg79001.html Something very disgusting has happened recently that really torturing JoeGoaUk mentally. A photograph with encircled subject (see proof) under title ‘Who is this?’ making round on the net. A photojournalist of local English daily uploaded /sent to many plus sent to a group having over 1,000 members. Almost, instantly, there appeared a comment indentifying the person , followed by another person, very quickly, confirming the same. In order not to give wrong impression, I immediately wrote to the commentators via pvt message to kindly take down the comments (see proof) which they did later on. I also sent similar messages to the uploader, the PhotoJournalist (PJ), at three different times (see proof) between 9am-4pm. but photo still remains. Next day, the same PJ, after reading and ignoring my requests, posted his comment answering his own question (i.e. naming the person) – See proof He did not even bother to reply any of my 3 messages, in one, I asked him ‘Why?’ (he is doing this to me). The few comments exchanged –see proof. In one of his comments, he says that he appreciates JoeGoaUk’s talented work he does for Goa. What type of appreciation is this, adding fuel to the already existing fire lighted by himself, even after he was told to remove it? Is this an appreciation or Jealousy? Or something else to it. Perhaps, this was done for money as the same cannot be ruled out after reading drug peddler-press/media nexus. I am Photojournalist, he is also a photojournalist, so what is this? ‘Bikareak nosai Bikareachi’? I really thought most PJs know who I am and that they as gentlemen, respect my privacy. as I was doing my work right under their noses. Yes, i consider myself a photojournalist and hence most things that affect photojournalist also affect me. E.g. the recent assault on a photojournalist by a migrant veg. Vendor at Panjim market. I went 3 times to capture the vendor but I was not successful he was never there but did capture whatever I could. I did not stop there, went to Panjim Police Station twice to chase this case both time I was told they are investigating and whether the case is closed or settled out of court only the Police and the PJAG know. Since they made it a ‘news’ on assault, I feel they should also update us on it. Now, some of you may say it might be due to some personal problems between us or due to some previous enmity etc. I swear, I don’t know this guy, never even said hello to him nor I say hello to anyone even if I wanted to. Nor, this guy is on my 749 FB fan list (I say Fans because I don’t add or request any friends, for i don't want to give impression that I am a spammer)), there are some other PJs fans in the list though The cybercrime - http://www.flickr.com/photos/67992500@N05/6191329486/sizes/l/ We were discussing this matter very seriously yesterday at a city restaurant Just because they work for local daily they should not treat themselves as lords. If they don’t understand the ethics, then who else will? Damage is done, only wearer knows where the shoe bites. It’s a ploy to finish JoeGoaUk, that’s for sure. Or else, what else it could be?? I was also shocked to see some of my own FB fans stabbing me behind my back. They even exchanged with others the Pvt. Message I sent to them – see proof. Re. ‘Exposing’ The two quoted to explain the 'exposure' part in one comment. The two who clicked ‘likes’ are the people themselves who appear there. Theirs and some NRIs involment cannot be ruled out. It appear that the whole thing is a well organised plan. Jealous, yes they are jealous and why shouldn’t they? We are all Goans, aren’t we? ‘Kunattponn’ is part of ‘Goemkarponn’ and we all know that. I tell you all this otherwise you will never know the problems or situation I face.. You are the only persons I talked to on the net and I have been talking to you for the last 8 years or so Thank you for reading, thanks for your time. Sorry, if I am wrong anywhere.
