Abstract
The author remembers childhood days or pre photography days through the yellowing family photographs as much as from memories. From 1985 to 1990, these images were visual notes in the author's photographic diary. A meeting with a stranger in 1986 during a train journey to meet and show his early work to senior photojournalists and seek their advice on becoming a professional photographer laid the foundation for the most significant project of the author's life – UNSUNG. This essay is about the journey towards a semblance of self-realisation through photography over 35 years. The timeline, however, is non-linear. The author inquires about reinterpreting the self in autobiography and ponders over questions such as if the self is a constant? Though the sense of self may be ever forming and dissolving and documenting the other, is, in fact, an autobiography?
