Kabootarbazi In Purani Dilli & Launching Captain’s Clicks

Categories Delhi

I am close to a hundred posts on my blog. By now, I have made it pretty evident that when it comes to photography, I have hands of steel. So, rather than torturing you with my lens work, I bring to you my friend Siddhartha Kumar. A pilot by profession (and a Captain at that!) and photographer by obsession, Sid has won many national contests and we have been lunching on his prize moneys since we were in college.

Now that the sweet part is over, let me tell you a bit of truth. Sid is a serial photographer and has a camera growing out of his hands like a sixth finger. No wonder, he has photographed everything, from lizards on his bathroom wall to the islands of Bali. A few days back, we decided that the gigabytes he has amassed over the years need some air and sunlight.

So, Sid has agreed to be a permanent resident guest blogger at The Young Bigmouth, posting under the category Captain’s Clicks. But I am still the writer around here, so we all know who wears the pants, don’t we?

For his very first post, Sid chose these marvelous Old Delhi picks that he took way back in 2005. Feast your eyes.
