Indian
Photography Edition, a community for intellectual, cultural, and
personal interactions between Photographers throughout India with an aim
to promote photography as an art, over 15000 working Indians, who,
armed with their lens eye, pursued photography as a serious hobby.
The
exhibition was preceded by conferences, lecture tours, workshops,
seminars, and web-based networks, following which, over 15000 entries
poured in.
The
inaugural ceremony of the exhibition was attended by celebrities Divya
Khosla Kumar and Lesle Lewis and Anuradha Singh, Tarun Kumar and Abhinav
Shukla played perfect hosts.
“Photography
creates a feeling of mindfulness. When we slow down and pay attention
to the small beautiful details our world has to offer, we affirm the
preciousness of the present moment. All too often our minds are full of
constant chatter concerning the past or the future.
“Photography
can act as a form of meditative appreciation for living mindfully in
the present, and help us to quell the runaway thoughts that enslave us.
Hence, we wanted to give an outlet to those who prefer to see the world
with their lens eye in their spare time, thus making time for what they
love most,” explains a spokesperson.
The
four categories were Nature, Wildlife, Culture, Portraits and Others
were classified in the fifth category. 15 finalists have been chosen.
Interestingly, the winners come from IT, Banking, Pharma, Insurance
among others.
Yours to check out the top 250 and the winners on display at Coomaraswamy Hall, Prince of Wales Museum on March 23, 9am-7pm.
