American envoy opens Unique photo spectacle

Friday, 16 November 2018 | Staff Reporter | NEW DELHI

Reflections of India: More than 50 Years Apart’, a unique photo exhibition was inaugurated by America’s envoy to India, Kenneth I Juster at the American Centre in Delhi on Thursday. The photographs juxtaposing various architectures in India over a period of 50 years were taken by Juster and his father.

“The exhibition is a combination of photographs that my father took in 1966 and that I have taken in 2017 and 2018," Ambassador Juster said at the event. 

He further said, "My father was an avid photographer and the source of my passion for photography."

The exhibition consists of 24 photographs of individuals, life in India, and several famous landmarks.

Some photographs by the duo including those of Humayun's Tomb, Safdarjung's Tomb, and the Pareshnath Jain Temple in Kolkata.

These photographs juxtapose the same scene taken over fifty years apart, in 1966 and today. These photographs detail how India's landscape has changed even as some of its monuments endure over time.

"My father, who was an architect, focused on photographs of buildings. While I also take architectural photos, I am fascinated as well by portraits of the people of India," Juster said at the event. 

Reflections of India:  More than 50 Years Apart" will run from November 15 through December 6 at the American Center, 24 Kasturba Gandhi Marg, and is free to the public.
