Photo Feature : "Brickfields of Bengal"

Brickfields of Bengal

Friends,

Joydeep Mukherjee of Kolkata (India) is a multi talented human being. He was interested in arts, sports, trekking, traveling etc. from his early days. He stepped into the world of photography in 2002 during his trek to the Annapurna Base Camp - Nepal. His artistic photographs have earned name and fame for him in India and abroad. He is before you with a Photo Feature on the Brickfields of 24 Pargana District of South Bengal.

--Dr. Pankaj Sharma

Located close to the meandering rivers in Bengal, where clay soil is found in abundance, we find groups of people working in brick fields. Theirs’ is a simple organizational structure:

...
* A Contractor for Raw material
* A Contractor for labor
* Brick workers
* A Buyer of finished product

Since the manpower for these fields come from afar, and settle down for the duration of 6 months (till before the monsoons start), there is relocation of the entire family from the native place to the work place. The bulk of the labor category consists of women, who are involved in the brick-making process from the inception to the completion. Also, the children of the family perceive brick-making not only as a part of life, but also a source of livelihood. They take pride in their ability to contribute to their family income.

To give an idea, generally, a finished single brick is sold in the market for five rupees per piece. The labor charge comprises a very low percentage of this total price. Though the meager income that a person receives per brick is not sufficient to sustain the family, he/she does this job whole heartedly.

This feature and the photographs are based on the brickfields of 24 Pargana District of South Bengal.

(Equipments used: Cameras: Nikon D-90 and D-70 S; Lenses: Nikon 18-105 mm and 12-24 mm.)

“Story Behind The Picture” Sense of Responsibility

Story Behind The Picture

"Sense of Responsibility"

....
Dear Friends,

....
Today I’m before you with a photograph which was taken in a small village of Distt. Hoshangabad (M.P-India) in December 2003. I was on the way to Tilak Sindoor, a religious place. This place is situated at a high spot in Satpura hills and is famous for Lord Shiva’s temple. I witnessed a small village on my way. I requested my friends to have a halt in the village and they kindly agreed. The village was fairly beautiful and quite serene. While taking a walk in the village I noticed this beautiful house. The overall atmosphere of the house explained a complete story. The responsible girls busy in their daily task, the hens pecking the grains, the attractive geometrical drawings on the wall and the tiled roof of the house, together, offered a golden opportunity for a story telling photograph. I clicked a few frames. This is one of them. This picture reminds me of that village even today due to its quiet environment and the simplicity of its habitants. Moreover the neatness of the houses in this region is praiseworthy.
I used a Canon AE-1 SLR Camera with a 50 mm lens. The film used was Kodak Gold 200 ASA.

The Land of God: Uttarakhand

Friends,

....

...Uttarakhand (India) is known as the land of God. This tranquil region has been a center of attraction since long. The splendid Himalayan Peaks, fascinating vegetation, green Shivalik ranges, and overall serene ambience, all together are sufficient enough to magnetize one. Post monsoon phase (September to December) is the best time to visit Uttarakhand. The trees and plants are in best of their appearance and the vision of Himalayan peaks is very much clear due to dust free environment. Additionally the climate is quite enjoyable during post shower stage. We have ample opportunities for good photographs throughout this period. Sunbeams of early morning and late evening endow with golden chance for tremendous photographs in this divine land.

Here are few images which have been clicked during my visits of different places of District Almora and Nainital (Uttarakhand).
