on January 7, 2011Dear Suchitji:
Thanks for the vivid bouquet of photographs; any chance to cover the workshop area so that participants could be seen? Lovely memories! 'My' picture looks too unnatural and out of place! Could be replaced with a better person really! Love.

on January 6, 2011Suchit ... these are so precious - you have captured the colors and feelings and triumphant and poignant moments of our NSB Festival the way through the eyes of an artist. As a member of the organizing team I was so involved with the Festival and through your photos I am enjoying the Festival a second time from a different perspective. Thanks for capturing the memories.
