Street Photography Now by Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren

Book Review
For the last twenty years, the candid photography of life in public has been mostly underground but secretly flourishing, stimulated by digital cameras’ wide availability, a profusion of photo blogs, and new self-publishing opportunities.

Street Photography Now is a survey book of contemporary street photography, edited by Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren and published by Thames & Hudson in 2010. It includes work by 56 photographers. Blake Andrews described the book as “the first broad street photography book to be published since Bystander in 1994”. Between 2010 and 2012, a series of exhibitions were held in Europe with work from the book.

The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially. A lot of its flavours and masala mixes have been handed down from over a thousand years and Bengalis to this day retain those recipes which make them truly “shonar Bangla” dishes.
