The Newspaper Project
Whenever i go out on the streets to shoot, i never go out with an agenda. But, this time, this first image above spurred me on to concentrate on photographs of people reading the morning papers. Seeing people read newspapers is something all of us see everyday. So just thought of capturing these moments when the reader is completely engrossed in his daily news dose.
Don’t know about others, but for me, newspapers are a means to enter into a meditative state, where its just me and the words on the paper, oblivious to the world around me. Moreso, with the Sunday papers.

Portraits – 1
This is one genre i have not explored much since i got my camera. Hope to keep continuing this series, as there are too many faces out there that need to be photographed. I was in a quandary whether to keep this portrait as colour or BW. But i guess colour won, as i am not sure if i captured the eyes as well as i should have. In retrospect, i realised that it could have been a better frame, had i gone more closer.
Will keep Robert Capa’s quote in mind the next time i venture to shoot portraits, “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.”

Changing perspectives
Its always fun to capture images through the viewfinder of someone else’s camera. Not only does it give you a closer and clearer look of the composition, it also helps you know how the other person is viewing the same scene that you are. For instance, when i was shooting the stairs, i was more interested in the inscriptions on each of them, but my friend here composed it differently and found this composition more compelling. So while he was getting his steady shot, i stole his shot. Ofcourse, i showed it to him later, so that he does not sue me later;)

Muted Conversations – Pt.2
Barren
Have always seen picnickers sit under the shade of some tree or the other while snacking, but this group decided to deviate from the obvious. Even without leaves, the tree still manages to command attention.

Sepia Memories
The Bombay Stock Exchange is no doubt a brilliant building, architecturally speaking. But that attracts me most towards this part of South Mumbai, is the charming old world buildings like the one in the picture above. The cast iron railings on each floor have a character and a charm that cannot be matched by the multi-story behemoth behind it.

Mera Number Kab Aayega?
In the chaos that is Chor Bazaar, I came across this calm and composed barber going about his work. These traditional one-man salon are commonly found all over the city. The funny part in such a setup on a ‘khatiya’ is, the customer has to hold the mirror himself, as the barber has both his hands busy. But this uncle didn’t really bother with that. Also, seems like the waiting customer did not take my capturing his unshaven look too kindly.
