So Much Water So Close To Home

"What do I know? How will I die? What sort of death will it be? If I do not forget the Lord Master from my mind, then my death will be easy. The world is terrified of death; everyone longs to live. By Guru's Grace, one who dies while yet alive understands the Lord's Will. O Nanak, one who dies such a death, lives forever.”

-From the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Page 555

Parth Gupta is a photographer based out of New Delhi, India.
Photography, for him, started as a naive act of taking images of clouds from his father’s cell phone in his early teens.
But he considers his earliest connection to visual imagery with the family albums at his home.
He often traces back to the innocence of the images in the album, today, to engross himself in a moment
and to understand his emotions. With photography, he wishes to make images, which serve as a memento of time passed,
spaces discovered and people met. A photograph that is an experience to the viewers
and evokes certain emotions that stays with them.
