Vinay Jawahar’s People Like Us
After growing up Bombay, India and spending several years studying and working in the United States, Vinay Jawahar returned to India with his camera to find something.
“I toyed with the idea of ‘Invisible India’ or, less dramatically, ‘The India You Missed While You Were at The Mall’,” he tells The Boston Coffee House. “Something really didactic and embarrassingly unsubtle about the India eclipsed by gated communities, swanky (and less than swanky) malls, and gleaming office towers. A second (and secondary) instinct was to tease out a technical or, if I were feeling truly bold, an artistic narrative.”
While those stories are told, Jawahar’s photo essay ultimately documents something more fundamental – memory of a simpler time.
“These photographs remind me that that country [I remember] is still a reality,” said Jawahar.

Tim Hetherington Grant Calls for Applications
World Press Photo and Human Rights Watch invite press photographers and photojournalists around the world to apply for the third Tim Hetherington Grant. The annual grant, worth €20,000, will be awarded to a photographer to complete an existing project on a human rights theme.
The judges will look for the qualities that defined Tim’s career when reviewing the applications: work that operates on multiple platforms and in a variety of formats; that crosses boundaries between breaking news and longer-term investigation; and that demonstrates a consistent moral commitment to the lives and stories of the photographic subjects.
Fernando Moleres received the second Tim Hetherington Grant in 2012 for his project “Waiting for an opportunity”.
