Life pauses for a moment. Happy World Photography Day to all storytellers behind the lens.

Vision!

When three photographers fall quiet, you know the scene is speaking louder than the shutter.

Between what’s man made and what’s felt, a moment of thought.

During a morning stroll in Thanjavur, I had a brief chat with this Patti who was setting up her little home shop, still not open for the day. She asked me, “Why do you take photographs?” I told her, “Photographs are souvenirs, memories that last a lifetime.” She smiled, and that smile became this photograph.Sometimes, all it takes is a simple conversation to make someone feel seen, comfortable and happy.

A mother near the Thanjavur Big Temple, who sells tender coconuts for a living, takes a quiet moment to help her son with his homework.
