This issue of Chiiz celebrates the coming together of culture and traditions in the most vibrant of ways as it presents the ‘Last of the Traditional Fairs- Pushkar Fair’. Photographers from all over the world participate in this annual livestock fair, making it a battlefield for photographers; each photographer vying for the best way to frame the fair. We also have some wonderful shots from a workshop that took place in ‘The Forgotten Land of Budha Pushkar’ under the guidance of skilled mentors. A photo feature on Shaitan Singh - an artist who takes the guise of Lord Shiva - has been done remarkably, making us wonder if he is a ‘Devil, God or...an Artist?’ Speaking of artists, Lois Greenfield’s work, ‘Still Motion’ is nothing short of magical. While all photographers freeze moments, Lois Greenfield sets the bar a notch higher when she manages to capture stills that will take you to the period of renaissance. While some photographers stick to their genre of photography, others like to venture in uncharted territory and explore the beauty of other genres. Mark Edward Harris, albeit a travel photographer, shows us that he dons another feather in his cap. ‘Documenting the Wild’, Mark proves his mettle as an amazing wildlife photographer as well. Last but not the least is the Chiiz Gallery which is replete with marvelous work of photographers from all over the world. Here’s displaying the best of chiiz.com and hope that you celebrate with us the essence of culture, of coming together to witness epicness and to capture it all. Here’s to Pushkar and the photographers that got to capture it! Veni, Vedi, Cepi! Finance Neelu Singh Consultant Apratim Saha Mansa Inc.
