Book Description

May 29, 1997 Getty Conservation Institute
Inspired by the highly successful Picture L.A., each of these publications contains images by a group of youths who photographed what they consider to be their city's distinctive landmarks. The images, in combination with quotes from the photographers, evoke ideas that challenge readers' conventional notions of landmarks and, at the same time, invite readers to consider how they are marked by the communities in which they live.

Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is not only India's commercial center but also its most cosmopolitan city. The photographs capture the many faces of the city, from the overcrowded streets where privacy is a luxury, to the various activities along its extensive coastline.

Each book contains a selection of black-and-white prints culled from hundreds taken during the course of the projects, along with short biographies and color images of each of the young photographers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Expression of young minds, June 9, 2006
By 
Joshua Rao "ARTman" (NY, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Picture Mumbai: Landmarks of a New Generation (Getty Conservation Institute) (Paperback)
I was actually a part of this project and can tell you this is a great glimpse of what the youth in Mumbai actually sees - or sometimes doesn't. I have met all the (then) kids who took pictures and this book is such a great perspective on their lives...a great buy...it is a reflection of their characters - all unique and expressive in their own way - minds unpolluted by adult mindsets.
