The Maanga

As part of the Madras week events, Chandrachoodan made a short tiny presentation at the Goethe-Institut. As the topic indicates, it was more about photographs and less about lecturing. The audience were shown the several photographs photographed by several photographers who walk the walks.

Nice.

Given the generally positive opinion one has towards the person and the City, it’s rather easy to like the presentation even for an anti-photite. However, knowing that the man who is lecturing sells products for random companies, isn’t it fair to ask that he sell himself and his art with a bit more conviction? Maybe there was confusion regarding the target audience or the tone. Given the several experts in photography and in history who had assembled, maybe there was a conscious effort to not talk down or state the obvious. That though, hardly restricts building a case from the ground up. Even if there isn’t one.

Request to Chandru: Please use your blog more to involve those of us who aren’t exactly photogeeks.
