Gautam Narang - Travel Photographer - INDIA

What is photography? What is art? What is the point of it? It s everything around us, and it s yourself, there is no point, it s putting your thoughts on paper, in an instant, expressing more than words can, so many things. Photography and art isn t limited to the medium, it s more than that, I believe the real art is the artist and the world, this is what inspires us. What catches one person s eye, but another walks past? With photography I have learnt the value of detail, it has taught me to look for details, to look for things, this is more than clicking a button. The camera simply allows the user to catch the image, it is the artist who sees it. The way I think is life is full of sped up days, what the camera does is crop this so you can focus on what you want. It takes a moment, and stretches it to infinity, and gives us the calm of observing that moment properly, and life is like this to me, full of clutter, and very special moments. In India, I saw uncensored reality, real poverty, real madness, not the sanitized cleaned up, behind closed doors society of Britain. But why are these themes so interesting to me? Because they are more real, everyone identifies with the underdog, not many can identify with the entrenched falsity of the ruling classes.This is where photography is different, it is designed to raise questions rather than answers, but the result is that artists will remain unfulfilled, because in their quest for answers, they simply raise more questions.

Eric Van Buskirk - Border Crossings

At the start of 1993, in the most independent action I ve ever taken, I moved to Prague, the Czech Republic, leaving behind a job, a swimming pool membership, a tennis racquet, a car, newspaper subscriptions, a half-read hard cover book, close friends and relatives, and many of the other things which made my free time enjoyable. What I found more than compensated. Teaching English classes and serving as the Advertising Manager for Prognosis, an English language newspaper, I met some of the most compassionate individuals I have ever known. With much of my free time I took travel photos of the Czech Republic as the country emerged out of 40 years of totalitarianism. The mystery of the Baroque buildings that where neither destroyed nor kept up since World War II shaped my photography style until this day. In this first year of my serious amateur photography, my eye was draw to the mystery an image can convey. My favorite shots made the viewer see beauty in the unknown. Bright light and dark shadows with people in them and decaying buildings for which one could only image a regal past-- these were two favorite subjects that made the viewer feel foreign to the subjects. After eight months living in Prague, I traveled for a month in Turkey and Greece and a month in Western Europe. In 1994, I returned to Turkey for three weeks of travel. My feet covered nearly 1000 miles during my time abroad. Much of the time, a Canon AE1 slung across my shoulder. In 1995, I traveled to Southeast...
