Location : Delhi (Stretch Between Chawri bazaar & Chandni Chowk)
Title : delhigram
Intention : Stills framing the dialogues within the city
Camera : Nikon D3300
Editing : Adobe Photoshop CC
i took my camera and i left
it was around 8 months since i was delaying this, the urge to capture daily commute, and to resonate at same frequency at which the city dose. one day the idea just choked me, and i decided to do it.
I was blank when i started , but after a few clicks I knew the required harmony for my shoot.
Basic idea which i was following is to capture which is easily and frequently ignored by the people moving back and forth. To bring attention to such commodities which are easing overlooked by many and forgotten by all
Every time one travels through a streets, Dialogues Begin....
eyes have it with spaces,
mind have it with peoples,
body have it with air,
steps have a dialogue with ground,
These dialogues help us connect and perceive the character of the setup.
The complex web of dialogues experienced by oneself and others, create a social platform for anyone to play their role.
I was not native to those lands and those street patterns, yet i decided to enter one and i made myself ready for a small adventure. I decided to enter any street i see and to click any stuff i might think worthy. There were surprises hidden for me as i sailed.i saw a web of dialogues,a complex metrix sustaining and breathing. I became curious and i went further and i met with some beautiful people to capture.
RED CURIOSITY PAAN HAVE BEEN A GREAT PLEASURE DELIVERS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME. (AS FAR AS I REMEMBER) AND I WAS ROAMING AROUND AND I SAW HIM, AND NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS THAT MY MOUTH WAS FILLED WITH RED CURIOSITY. AND I HAD THIS PICTURE IN MY CAMERA.
SMOKE SAINT THIS MAN MADE MY DAY, A LABOR HOW LIVE-EAT-SMOKE-SLEEPS ON THE STREETS AT CHAWRI BAZAAR. AT FIRST I WAS FEELING GUILTY TO CLICK HIS PICTURE BUT AS HE NODDED YES AND TOLD ME TO CLICK SOME MORE.
I FRAMED HIM LIKE THIS.
The commodities that are helping the daily struggle are often ignored due to the running hustle bustle of the life. The stretch is filled with different character each street has its own flavor.
THE GOLDEN DAY
IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES TO CLICK THIS SHOT , TO SET THE LIGHT CONDITIONS RIGHT BUT IT THE END IT PAYS OFF.
THE GREY SHADE SALOON A WHITE OUTBREAK IN BETWEEN LONG BLACK STREETS DRY AND DUSTY DESKS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO START A DAY THE SHOP IS AROUND 30 YEAR OLD. AND IT ADDS A FLAVOR TO THE STREET , AS LIKE AN OLD MAN TO THE HOUSE.
SUPPER OF IMMORTALITY
MY FAV. DRINK OF THE DAY AFTER A 3 HOUR WALK IN THE MAZE , I TOOK A HALT AT THIS CHAI-CORNER AND NEITHER REGRET THE TASTE NOR THE PAUSE.
TELEPORT MACHINE WHEN THERE IS NO TRAFFIC*, THey ARE LITERALLY TELEPORT YOU WITHIN FRACTION OF A MINUTE.
LEGENDS OF TOMORROW I AM SURE ONE DAY WILL COME, WHEN PEOPLE WILL OWN IT LIKE A LUXURY AND DRIVE IT WITH PRIDE.
DRAG ME TO HELL I HAD SUFFERED THE TORTURE OF WAITING BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC-JAM
PINK LADY
THE RAINBOW A VEGETABLE SHOP THIS WAS SHOP WHICH WAS THE MOST COLORFUL ON THAT WHOLE STRETCH AND THIS COUPLE STOPPED AT CORRECT TIME FOR ME TO CLICK A SHOT.
DRAGON
LAME CLARIFICATION : DRAGON IS THE FIRST WORD THAT BLINKED IN THE HEAD
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMON, YOU MAKE LAMONAID :p
MAN OF STEEL
THE HEAD FULL OF PEOPLE
MESSENGER
A LONG DAY YOU WALK AND THE DAY SEEMS TO RUN QUICKLY,
YOU HURRY AND IT DRIFTS FASTER. BUT ITS GULPS DOWN SLOWLY FOR THE MAN IN A QUEUE.
WHEN SUN TOOK A DIVE TOWARDS HORIZON , I STARTED TO END MY EXTRAVAGANZA. I WAS RETURNING BACK, AND I REALIZE THAT , THE PEOPLE I HAVE SEEN SWEATING THAT DAY, WERE LIVING EACH DAY LIKE THAT WITHOUT ANY ANOMALY. THE THINGS WHICH IS KEEPING THESE DIALOGUES TOGETHER
IS THE HOPE, A HOPE TO HAVE AN ANOMALY. I WENT THERE TO HAVE MINE, LIKEWISE THEY MIGHT COME HERE FOR THEIR'S. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
