Recording Memories In the Dark Times- Chennai

Lock Down Photo Diary – Chennai

 

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.
– Martin Parr (Photojournalist)

Photographs tell stories. They may be nothing more than an echo of a moment in time, but they preserve our happiest as well as the darkest memories.  I travelled in my bullet more than 45 kilometres to capture these empty roads, deserted buildings and desolate feelings.

Pictures speak, I stop here.
