le corbusier meets…
September 21, 2007 — DesignFluteLe Corbusier creations meets a photo artist from Chandigarh
He was trained to be a graphic artist and painter instead he picked up camera. His is conceptual photography. Without delving into technicalities I call him one of the best Indian photo artists.
Diwan Manna freezes us with his black and white creations. He photographs kitchen workers who work endlessly inside hot dark four walls.
He is from Chandigarh, a city designed by Le Corbusier. So one fine day he went to France to capture Le Corbusier creations. Here is the result:
Above images are from Le Corbusier Firminy and Le corbusier-Master of light series.
all images from Wheels of time series

Rooh Punjab di (soul of Punjab)

भाभी, हिल गये हम तो.
बहुत ही गजब.
एक काम करें..हमें संभलने का वक्त दें.
आगे फिर आकर संभली प्रतिक्रिया देते हैं.
तब तक अनिल भाई का यहाँ भिजवाने का अभार.
Sameer bhai,
Welcome here. thank you so much for the visit and appreciation!
