Atget’s Corner – 11-15, Delhi Photos

The visible city.

[By Mayank Austen Soofi]

Delhi is a voyeur’s paradise and The Delhi Walla also makes pictures.

I take photos of people, streets, flowers, eateries, drawing rooms, tombs, landscapes, buses, colleges, Sufi shrines, trees, animals, autos, libraries, birds, courtyards, kitchens and old buildings. My archive of more than 25,000 photos showcases Delhi’s ongoing evolution. Each day five randomly picked pictures from this collection will be put up on the pages of this website.

The series is named in the memory of French artist Eugène Atget (1857-1927), who, in the words of a biographer, was an “obsessed photographer determined to document every corner of Paris before it disappeared under the assault of modern improvements.”

Here are Delhi photos numbered 11 to 15.

11. Hauz Khas Village

12. Gurgaon

13. Defence Colony

14. N Block Market, Greater Kailash I

15. Patparganj

One thought on “Atget’s Corner – 11-15, Delhi Photos

  1. Your website on Delhi is unique. This is Delhi as a living breathing space.
    Atget’s work has also influenced Teju Cole’s photography.
    I am from Kuala Lumpur – bland, mechanical – but always wish to be in Delhi. I try to get there as often as I can. This is not often enough.
