The images in this book are a reflection of one photographer’s experience of this diverse land and her attempts to peer beneath the surface to reveal its human dimension. She has an uncanny ability to connect with her subjects. The result is a very personal visual journey, which, Macklowe believes, reveals the warmth, beauty and humanity of the Indian people. She says, “I think, see and dream in full colour. I can spend hours watching the light and its effects on natural subjects, which is never the same but always interesting, and sometimes even breathtaking; and those are the moments I hope to capture on film.” She reveals a land of beauty, hardship and joy that breathes with life and surges with energy. As an art photographer, Macklowe was drawn to see India and to spend most of her time in the rarely visited areas populated by tribal peoples. This book is a window into these visits. In the words of Pritish Nandy, it is “a tribute to her search, her perseverance, her genius. Flip through its pages. Hold on to a few images. Read her words. And, trust me, you will experience India. The experience may be incomplete, as experiences of all great and diverse nations are. But you will gain insight into what makes India, India.”
