This is a book about photography, Delhi, history and passion. Delhi is an ancient city, and is built up of seven (or eight or nine) cities. These have been built by the successive dynasties that have occupied the seat of Delhi. Delhi has been central to India's politics for over one thousand years. What the city is today, is an amalgamation of all the events and the stories of the last few thousand years. It is an amalgamation of the stories, the sweat and tears of the men and women who have built this city. Photography today, in a similar vein, is an amalgamation of all the events, the experiments that have been carried out for the last (almost) two hundred years. The vintage processes of the past showed a continuous burst of creativity. The vintage processes live on today. In this book, I have photographed Seven Cities of Delhi, and have processed the images digitally in Photoshop, simulating many of the vintage processes. Each city has been represented in a different process History, passion for the vintage processes, Delhi and photography combine to make this book

The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture is the most comprehensive reference work in this complex and diverse area of art history. Built on the acclaimed scholarship of the Grove Dictionary of Art, this work offers over 1,600 up-to-date entries on Islamic art and architecture ranging from the Middle East to Central and South Asia, Africa, and Europe and spans over a thousand years of history. Recent changes in Islamic art in areas such as Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq are elucidated here by distinguished scholars. Entries provide in-depth art historical and cultural information about dynasties, art forms, artists, architecture, rulers, monuments, archaeological sites and stylistic developments. In addition, over 500 illustrations of sculpture, mosaic, painting, ceramics, architecture, metalwork and calligraphy illuminate the rich artistic tradition of the Islamic world. With the fundamental understanding that Islamic art is not limited to a particular region, or to a defined period of time, The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture offers pathways into Islamic culture through its art.
