Yes.

‘Why do you take photos?’ She asked.
I said “Because I’m afraid that I will never see you again…”
Possibly I do photograph a face because I know I will lose them shortly, I do photograph a space because I know it will disappear soon.

I never think of myself as anything but a wanderer, and while wandering one often sees such brief glimpses of beauty… and you just stand and stare…and nothing more…

I was working on a documentary about a 7th Century Buddhist site excavation at Nateshwar Bangladesh. They have found this beautiful road there, and while walking on it I realised that, I’m actually walking on a long forgotten path, on which possibly our ancestors used to walk… although we know very little about them but at that moment I felt very much connected to everything around me… and this photograph is nothing but an incapable attempt to document that feeling.
