Award-winning Photographer Pablo Bartholomew recounts his favourite memories of the city that provided him an escape from what he had known
For Delhi-based photographer Pablo Bartholomew, Bombay, now Mumbai, provided an escape from the claustrophobia he had begun to associate with the city he grew up in.
"Everybody knew everybody; Delhi was a very small circle of people," he says over the telephone from the capital city, where Chronicles of a Past Life, his collection of photographs on Mumbai is on display.
The black and white photographs offer an insight into the people and places that lend colour to the vibrant city of Mumbai in the 1970s and '80s.
"Bombay is a special place. It is a city that people come to make a better life; to escape their environments no matter where they are from."
