My visit to Chennai was great, but what I saw and learnt there was even greater!
After spending time at the Beach with Bhaskar when I finally reached the ne premises of the Photographic Society of Madras I was welcomed by room full of eager photographers who were waiting for my lecture.
When the time for me to speak came I began with how I felt, and all I felt at that time standing in front of the photographers who’s ages ranged from the late teens to those who were nearly senior citizen was HUMBLED!
It was amazing to see how all these folks had come together to run what has come to be a functional and very successful Photographic Society.
Though the society does have a legacy over a century and a half yet its current form and live is a result of the work of its present members who have come together to give it the live it now has.
We must all watch out for the annual salon among other events that the society organizes
When you have the time you can also check out their website : http://photomadras.org/www/
For those of you living in Chennai well don’t think twice, this is a society worth joining.
