Tag: KWS27072008KUMARTULI
This was an odd shoot for me. For the 1st time, we were meeting for a shoot not in the early morning but at 9.30 am. (yeah, I know we went for some shoots in the evening too).So, I didn't exactly think much about the traffic I would face coming to the meeting point, which was at a famous juice store, Sharma's at C.R.Avenue-Vivekananda Road Crossing, and I reached a little late. Amithabha da was already waiting there. Vivek came a few minutes after that. Aruni had decided to go to kumartuli directly as he was running late. So Amithabha da, Vivek and I started for the place. When we arrived at Kumartuli, we saw a big sign where it was written that photography is prohibited. But Amithabha da assured us that if we shoot as if we belong there, we won't be facing problems from the locals. I had great fun shooting the various stages of idol-making. The details on the idols have to be seen to believe. They were so lifelike. Won’t go into the details of the history of Kumartuli and stuff, because I am not a authority on that but any pandal - hopper during the pujas should make it a point to come here to experience the labor that goes into creating all those Idols that we get to see during the pujas.
At around 11 am, after deciding we would come back here again after some time, we all decided to call it quits and went home.
And another wonderful shoot came to a end.
Weekend shooters are requested to post their shots to the group pool in Flickr first followed by Orkut and don't forget to add the TAG.
