Dear all, I am writing on R. V. Pandit, especially interested in the relation between his poems and his lesser-known activity as photographer. I am reading S. M. Tadkodkar's booklet on him, where I gathered this info:
"He won prizes at all India level for his photographs. He had taken photographs of the Mahatma, for which he earned a gold medal in 1948. He printed a calendar featuring the Mahatma after selling gold-buttons gifted by his mother-in-law and some gold ornaments of his wife. This calendar also brought him name and fame. Government of free and sovereign India released his frames of the Mahatma on national postage stamps and currency notes. But Pandit neither said his Mahatma photographs nor made ttlem his asset for recognition as a Ga-:- Pandit in the movement for freedom of India" (...) His first photograph having a caption 'Sting Tail Fish' was published in the school magazine at Pune, which earned the first prize as well. His first photograph titled 'A Boy on a Hill' was published on the centre page of KODAK INDIAN MAGAZINE and continued such publication there on. He exhibited aesthetic sense through his photography and his photographs were published in the noted periodicals viz., THE TROPICAL PHOTOGRAPHY, THE LENS-LIGHT COLUMNS etc. But, he never dreamt that this liking would take him to greater heights! His name was included in 'Who's who in Indian photography? (p. 7-9)" Does anyone have any indication of where I could find these photos? Any online archives containing these digitized magazines? Any help would be much appreciated All the best, Duarte -- *Duarte Drumond Braga* Investigador | Researcher Centro de Estudos Comparatistas | Centre for Comparative Studies Faculdade de Letras | School of Arts and Humanities Universidade de Lisboa | University of Lisbon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Goa-Research-Net" group.
