You know it is perhaps close to the time to short when the Uber driver is trading cryptos, checking his portfolio live while driving. [The picture was taken minutes ago by a friend].

This is about my friend and photographer Ravi Sahani. We worked together on the @instagram + @scroll_in General Elections Project in 2014. Great guy. Real solid gem. Please step up and help him out.

We live in times where photographs go viral but no one bothers to find out who made them. Please help me find and connect with the photographer who shot this.

After reaching H E ward office around noon, they were told to go eat in the canteen. I dont want to show you how dirty the canteen, its tables and benches are but here’s a photo of the wash basin. So many wise men in that office, not one could get a tap fixed at the right height!

The idea of this thread is by no means to sling mud at any collective or an individual. It is simply aimed at making the photographers question their own need for such a “workshop” and for the larger community to acknowledge that the system broken and needs fixing.

Highly insensitive on @mybmc ‘s part to do this. All of us are high on anxiety and the last thing anyone wants is to be part of this ill planned fastest finger first vaccine game. Just be professional for a change and stop this daily tamasha.

Some of the interns ate, my friend didn’t. After that “lunch”, they were asked to wait again for a car that might come to fetch them. One Wagon R for four interns who were carrying luggage. Luckily I and another girl’s brother hung around in our cars and we managed.

I think over the years I learnt more from workshops not related to photography. Farming, film appreciation, or even long conversations with non photographers teach you more things that can be deployed in one’s work. All depends on what sort of a photographer you really want to be

These kids are essentially the government’s first line of defence to control the pandemic. I wonder if @OfficeofUT or any other official from @mybmc would have liked it if they were ever made to wait this long for bare essentials. No one has even bothered of they have eaten.
