Atget’s Corner – 311-315, Delhi Photos Delhi Pics by The Delhi Walla - July 5, 20140 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 311 to 315. 311. Paharganj 312.
City List – Remarkable Modern Buildings, New Delhi Delhi by List by The Delhi Walla - July 5, 2014July 23, 20142 Architecture from 1928 to 2007. [Text and photos by Mayank Austen Soofi] In 2008, architecture scholar Rahul Khanna and photographer Manav Parhawk published The Modern Architecture of New Delhi. In the book's introduction, Mr Khanna said, “We do not intend to document the Mughal period nor catalogue Lutyens' Delhi. We aim to showcase the finest examples of modern architecture of New Delhi, treating 1931 (the year the capital city came into being) as a point to start.” Profiled in the aforementioned book, these remarkable new buildings of Delhi include works by architects Charles Correa, Kuldip Singh, Raj Rewal and Romi Khosla. 1.
