A Drying Art

4 Comments

Some beautiful moments in the drying phase of a salt water lake in Rajasthan, India, photographed on a winter evening. Some of these photographs were displayed in the photography group show Aperture & Identity, held at Bougainvillaea art gallery, Udaipur, India, in January 2010 (see Shows page for details).

This series consists of 18 unique images, available as limited edition prints on archival paper (Edition: 12). Print sizes: 30×20 inches or 22×16 inches or 16×12 inches.

    Once again, an awesome series Mayank! I like the last pic particularly: tiny bird-feet walking to the waterhole: to me this says everything about human existence.

    I agree with Mani, these evoke existentialism / Beckett / Celine. Very philosophical. (They also make me resolve to buy a moisturizer with Retinol.)
