Dr Jehangir Sorabjee above Bombay
Here is a doctor who loves his patients and photographs in equal measure. A doctor lives in close proximity with the dying - but that perhaps does not explain Sorabjee's urge to carry his camera to cemeteries. Death, has always been a subject for artists. Whether in Paris or Istanbul, Barcelona or Bombay - one comes across the buried and the dead - their resting places adorned with plaques and statuary. "My friends," says Sorabjee are amongst the best photographers in Bombay and they are very critical of my work. That does not stop Sorabjee from continuing in his adventures with the camera. Sometimes at ten in the night, after dinner - I call a close friend and we go out for photographing Bombay in the night - that's the new work that I am doing. A few years ago, Sorabjee got a whole lot of permissions to fly over Bombay and reveal views that the city and its people had never seen before. If there is one lesson to be learnt - it is about a love for whatever one does.
