Project: Three Court House Location: Alibaug, India Architect: RMA Architects Published in Architecture + Design | April 2015
So fun seeing this project that I shot for RMA in the new Architecture + Design magazine. Even more fun to see one of my images on the cover! Do pick up your copy to read more about it.
These are the two images of mine that were published in the magazine.
And a few other of my favourite images from the project:
Mussoorie holds fond memories in my heart from a trip I made up there with my college besties after our final year. So I knew I would love it. The weather wasn’t very kind to us but thankfully we stayed cosy at our lovely guesthouse with some our favourite people from around India whom we get to see very rarely.
On our first morning, I woke up at 5:30am to the sound of birds (i.e. not the sound of crows, egrets or pigeons) and could hardly contain myself. Being deprived of such simple pleasures in the city, it seemed futile to me to waste any time sleeping and not being outside!
It’s times and places like this that make it possible to come back to Bombay. And I am grateful for that.
Here’s the truth. I really struggled with this interview. Not because I didn’t know what my answers to the questions were but because I didn’t know how to answer the questions the way I thought I was supposed to answer them. You know, be super confident and inspiring and talk about all the amazing photographers that I know and worship and basically how I have it all figured out.
It took a couple of days for it to get through my head that I just had to be who I am. The truth of how I kind of stumbled and fell into this photography stuff that I love, with all my emotions and random, yet passionate dreams that I honestly don’t know what to do with sometimes. I have no five-year-plan. Heck, I don’t even have a five-day-plan.
And the irony is the very people I admire and who inspire me are the ones who remind me time and again, to. be. myself.
So I wrote and I re-wrote and this is what transpired:
