Jaan's photos

I am happy to share some photographs by my friend and former colleague Jaan. He is a graphic artist and designer, and a photographer. He is from rural Bengal and currently works in Delhi. On my request, he has sent some of his award-winning photographs. He is hoping to exhibit and publish his pictures.

Many more awards to you Jaan!

I like them but I like better in many ways the candid shots you published a while ago from Calcutta, taken by children and others as part of a project.

I recently borrowed from our local public library a book India A Celebration of Independence 1947-1997 which has fabulous photos by Henri Cartier Bresson and many others: photos which skilfully convey the truth of a place, helping you travel there in imagination and have compassion for its people, yet without romanticising them.

Dear Friends, thanks for your kind comments. Jaan will be very pleased and I've asked him to start a photo-blog immediately! Best, rama

the photos are great. there is a lot of interesting geometry going on in them. it makes them arresting in a way that is hard to describe, but beautiful.
