Asaithambi Gurusamy at Tarangambadi.




I met Asaithambi on my recent travels in South India. Trained as an architect, he works with INTACH in Tarangambadi on a project restoring some of the fine buildings in this old Danish Colony. he has a wicked sense of humour, a mind as sharp as an icicle and practises telepathy via the internet. This is one great guy.

Every Photographers wish... a fine Studio.



Mr. K. Moorthy of Nagore has run a fine photographic studio for many years. He has been commended for his work by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

He was a bit suspicious of me... not having a visiting card was a big 'no no'.
