India Poems: The Photographs

2006, hardcover, 208 pages, 69 full-page sepia reproductions

This book provides a glimpse into India's ageless soul with a series of enigmatic, subtly crafted photographs. But it is not just another travel book for the tourist market. It presents the reader with a thoughtful debate on aesthetics, and examines the moral and cultural difficulties a Western photographer must face when taking a supposedly "Third World" country for his subject.

With commentary by: Pushpamala N., Prasad Bidapa, Marta Jakimowicz, J. Shimon & J. Lindemann, Pheroza Godrej, Dr. Curtis Carter, Jeff Poniewaz, Jack and Kathie Massey, Judith Ann Moriarty, Arti Rajan Fulari, Dorrie Younger, Prasad Abu Bakr, Lewis Koch, Benadette da Cunha, and more.
