Annual Kite Festival, Jaipur
Written on the back of this work is: “The picture was shot in Jaipur in 2000 during the annual kite festival. Thousands of people on the city rooftops parry with fighting kites: the aim to cut the string of feuding kites. The strings are dipped in a mixture of glass shards and glue. Truly, this is a photograph that I had forgotten I had taken until quite recently. I recalled the event and the assignment, but not this particular touching moment. I really don't know how many photographs I have taken. It makes me wonder how many 'touching moments' I've captured that I've somehow forgotten about.” — Stuart Franklin
