In reply to Ankita. It's a free country. You have a choice not to read. Just like you had a choice to leave this pointless comment.

There seems to be no point to this post. Or maybe it’s lost on me.
So, what exactly did the goat make you feel? Oh nothing.. but then why should one read about your nothing exactly?

I still remember the look on my dad’s face when I pulled out my camera during the festival sacrifice back in my village….several years ago. I had to watch it quietly with my camera kept away, year after year.

Happy to see someone who went out and did it anyway! :P

In reply to Nishavasudevan.

There is no “moral of the story,” if you are looking for one. I was in India. I was travelling and writing and photographing. I was looking for new experiences. This just happened to be one of them. And, I got some good photos out of it. Not everyone has the stomach to photograph “something with shock value,” so to speak. I did. That’s all.

The irony, I suppose, was how I was seen by someone else (here, the butcher).

helloo.

i don’t really get the point of this. is it just about you being unaffected by gore? is there a larger introspection about the relation between the photographer and the photographed?

it would be nice if you elaborated on your entire mindset as a whole because that would contextualise your series.

“it’s going to die anyway” translates as a lame excuse for photographing something with shock value.

what’s the message here?
