Calcutta photoblog: stock-in-trade 1



I had carried a Calcutta photoblog series some weeks ago, based on pictures taken by the teachers of Talimi Haq School in Howrah, on the initiative of Baird Cornell, an artist from Munich.

I pick up the photoblog again, this time on the theme “stock-in-trade”.

But I must first give credit for all the pictures taken, to the people in the picture above. The photographers are:

Front: Rehana Khatun, Amina Khatun, Yasmeen Parween.
Back: Sarfraz Nawaz, Binod Shaw.
