M. Srinivas Rao, otherwise known as "Sreenu", has been visiting in Udaipur the past six weeks. As many of you already know, Sreenu worked as my assistant from 2001 through 2004, traveling through India with me in the days I shot with an old Rolleiflex.
Eventually these photographs were exhibited in venues from Mumbai to Sri Lanka to Udaipur. Sreenu helped with those early exhibitions as well (most of them held with the assistance of Alliance Francaise).
The work I did with Sreenu eventually became the book India Poems: The Photographs. The link below connects to Part 1 of a documentation we are doing of Sreenu's help and travel while producing this book. It focuses upon Sreenu's native place of Hampi, and is told in his own words, with his own voice. Part 2 will deal with Sreenu's travels beyond his home.
The volume is a bit low, so it is best to watch this while you have a quiet few minutes in your day.
