LIGHTSCRIBERS
The word "Photography" evolved based on the Greek word (phos), meaning "light", and (graphê), meaning “drawing, scribing”. At Lightscribers, we are scribing our stories with light.
Lightscribers is the Photography Annex of Srishtisandhan, formed with the mission to promote visual literacy through the language of photography.

THE STARS ARE HIS BONES
A photo-haiku portfolio by Debiprasad Mukherjee with a garland of Upanishadic texts arranged as haiku by Gabriel Rosenstock.
This is an Indo-Irish project as photographer Debiprasad and poet littérateur Gabriel Rosenstock have combined their creative forces to produce an atmospheric photo-haiku monograph infused with the wisdom of Upanishadic extracts. The harmonious interplay of sublimated form of poetry as 'found haiku' with the synthetic narrative of the images created the magic.

SOUND OF SILENCE
Another world with a presence of absence remains within the sound of silence, little world within our big planet rotating on another orbit with its own rhythm. To most it may seem insignificant yet it undeniably exists, with its own citizens, own language, own emotions, own sounds or rather its own silence too.
