There was an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal last week. Not only does it mention photographers like Raghu Rai and Dayanita Singh but also points to some new photo galleries in Delhi like “PhotoInk.” Their director says “”The fact is, we need to have more collectors than speculators. If you can’t see the work on somebody’s wall, how are you going to develop an aesthetic or a taste for it?” They have some great work on their website that I could definately see on my walls. I particularly like the series of Dileep Prakash called “The Anglo Indians.” There’s an interesting article here that talks about what an ‘Anglo-Indian’ is and their role in Indian culture. Briefly the Anglo-Indians are people who have mixed Indian and British ancestry (a dying group since the British left the subcontinent in ‘47).
