Paraganj

Paraganj by Murray Newham

Paraganj

The Paraganj bazaar in New Delhi.. we happened to arrive in a once a year Sikh festival.. by nightfall there was sword-fighting in the streets.. I love this shot because like everywhere in India, there’s always faces at every turn.. and I love the faces in this shot, from the guys at the front, to the bystanders in the shadows..

Paraganj belongs to the following groups:

    So rich in character and atmosphere, Murray
    and that ubiquitous earthiness that is India…
    So lucky to have been there …

    there’s too much unquiet in the air,. textures create a really tense mood as if something’s going to happen… stunning work.

    this was taken in November of 2006.. I only had a month in India so I thought I’d try and see just one state well..so I chose Rajasthan.. hope to go back and see the rest some day.

    Looks very natural… I like the energy, the tones and light are really effective for the shot. Well done.
