Effectively, I’ll be at the Delhi Photo Festival for most of the day, reviewing photographers‘ portfolios, and then presenting a seminar Introduction To Multimedia in the afternoon. I shall post a thing on the occasion as the day progresses.
However, I discovered yet yet another form of scarf that fits extraordinarily nicely in the panoply of photojournalists’ scarf collections. It really is the gamsha…a cotton scarf worn by a lot of Bengalis, and specifically useful for the rickshaw pullers of Kolkata who use it for virtually every thing. They range from 35 to 60 rupees dependent on quality, and haggling expertise of the vendor.
The rickshaw pullers use it as a sarong when they shower, as umbrella when it rains, as face wipes when it is humid and they sweat, a fly swatter….virtually exactly like photojournalists use their very own scarves.
The a single above at 35 rupees is the most affordable version, and is super absorbent.
Seriously, this is a ought to have for photographers who endure of scarf-fetish.
