Photographs comprise visual history. They freeze time. A plethora of these pictures that give glimpse of life and times in Kashmir capturing its history, customs, dress, culture, architecture, people and the land can transport one into the past with nostalgia. A feast to eye and inspiration to mind, these photographs await a fresh look to understand how to keep the past alive in the present. Some of these pictures are the only records of what they capture and in that sense help create a world that no longer exists or help recall a memory long forgotten.
