I have been sorting out all the photos I took when I was studying at NIFT in Gujarat. Among hundreds of 'college festival', 'gh 5' and 'hanging out at the gala having a cup of chai' photos; I found these precious ones from our first photography module back in 2003 when Dhimant Panchal was teaching us how to use a camera!

I have used a Canon 500N and 35mm Kodak film. 

I am looking forward to my trip to Ahmedabad in January where I'll be meeting up with Meena Kadri to photograph the kite festival, Uttarayan!

found some old photos and letters my mum had rescued from our old house before it was demolished. here are a few that I love. 

the postcard was written by daddy (my grandfather) to bua (my auntie) in 1958 when he was travelling, the letter was written by my great grand parents to mummy (my grandmother) after she married daddy and moved to India from Pakistan. 

the last few photos are of mummy's best friend, shanta aunty. i remember her fondly, she had the coolest spectacles.

I'm still scanning but was keen to share so there's more to come.

my first lomo and diana prints. very exciting!
