and doing zilch for photography even at club level.

Prof BW Jatkar was a very outspoken man he called a spade a spade and had no patience to tolerate fools so he was not much liked by his detractors who till date are accumulating personal glory. Such was our adventurous spirit we got our prints done at Color Lab ,Mazda, Vishal Bhende, Fuji lab and the last place we visited was Foto Fast.below PSI Mumbai. I still cant believe this doyen of photography is no more, he also introduced me to the various labs and our favorite was Swastik color Dadar lab that made our salon prints under the personal supervision of late Bhai Humne We shot the Dahi Handi together and the bullock cart races at Alibagh or Murud Janjira. He was the one who introduced me to Salon Photography and I sent my pictures to the various salons along with him and Mr Maheshwari. Whenever he was down or depressed we would go to Haji Ali and let our spirits soar. Prof Jatkar loved my family and visited us often whatever I am today is all due to the lessons of life I learnt from Jatkar Saab. Ī very close friend of my other Guru Dronacharya KG Maheshwari. Today I remember my Guru late Prof BW Jatkar a unique person a benchmark and a land mark in Indian Pictorial photography.
