Village Fair https://journals.worldnomads.com/gbmukherji/ Thu, 9 Apr 2026 08:26:39 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am 63 years young! In 1987, I was introduced to serious photography by a wildlife expert, while on a long voyage to Antarctica. Ever since that soul stirring experience, my love for still photography has remained unabated. I retired in July 2010 and I am fully fit physically, and mentally inquisitive and adventurous. I was requested by a Non-Government Organisation to prepare a Photo Feature showing the effects of climate change on coastal populations. I readily accepted. But the assignment is not going to be easy. How does one show the effect of a phenomenon that is so slow in happening? I am sure the mentoring by Jason will be invaluable. I hope to learn how National Geographic photographers approach issues; what kind of scripts they prepare; what are the essentials of inclusive composition; how to design readable articles and documents, mixing texts and pictures; and so on. Thereafter, I hope to tell a persuasive story so that the vulnerable coastal communities are motivated to anticipate global warming in all its dimensions and prepare themselves to counter the adverse effects. https://journals.worldnomads.com/gbmukherji/photos/35626/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel India gbmukherji https://journals.worldnomads.com/gbmukherji/photos/35626/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/gbmukherji/photos/35626/India/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:09:01 GMT 0 Village Fairs reflect the ethnic and physical diversity of countries but through the same medium of song, dance, art, artforms, food, dress and colour. I love documenting these and ethnic rural markets for posterity - as many of these are getting lost, nay getting converted into different forms and expressions. While I was in government service, I could do limited work on such documentation; but now, having retired, I have all the time in the world. I hope to produce a coffee table book as well as a e-book on the subject. https://journals.worldnomads.com/gbmukherji/photos/23782/India/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Travel India gbmukherji https://journals.worldnomads.com/gbmukherji/photos/23782/India/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/gbmukherji/photos/23782/India/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:45:00 GMT 0
