Modern Day Taxidermists

Walk from Chawri Bazaar to Kinari Bazaar

The world outside is largely inconceivable. Yet here we are making pictures - pigeon holing people as quick after-thoughts. I guess all we have turned into in the end as we bleed our visual cliches are modern day taxidermists. Shooting, cataloging, and projecting our ideas and beliefs on our pictures. What we should be doing instead is leaving the inconceivable in its crudest form.

Here are some pictures I took on a walk from Chawri Bazaar in Old Delhi to Kinari Bazaar where I incidentally ran out of film. I had two cups of tea on the way, I had every intention of getting lost but failed.

  1. Was in Delhi recently and had wanted to go to Kinari bazaar but couldn't make it. The Sadar bazaar was where we were one morning with roadside vendors selling holi colours before the formal shops had really opened. I was with the camera all the time and like what you write here in this post. Thanks for sharing.
