I hope your readers will be able to read of the reaction to the Indian Invasion of Goa by the East African Goans, in my sequel: "More Matata-Love After the Mau Mau" (Matata Books) which I am hoping will be launched in Toronto in November, 2012. Cheers, Braz Menezes //www.matatabooks.com

Photograph: David Bailey > > In his book Delhi > Dilemma<http://www.steidlville.com/books/1057-Bailey-s-Delhi-Dilemma.html> > , David Bailey <http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/david-bailey> turns > his camera away from the fast-emerging new face of the capital ? the > traffic, shopping malls and glass high rises ? to linger instead on bits of > India <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/india> that have yet to be stripped > of their national identity and globalised. He photographs beggar children > at the roadside in battered garish dresses, their hair reddish from > malnutrition. He takes us to old cinema halls, and focuses on curved > ceilings the colour of blood oranges, the elegant swirl of a staircase > moulding, the wistful suggestion of glamour in a sign that reads "Balcony ? > Rupees 80" and "Dress Circle ? Rupees 50", next to an old > fire-extinguisher.

Many feel timeless ? the bangle stalls in old > Delhi, exploding with colour, the cows with beautiful horns, the bicycles ? > making the book an affectionate tribute to an India that may not be around > for much longer, an attempt to capture something before it vanishes. But at > his London studio, Bailey responds badly to the suggestion that he might be > nostalgic for a side of the country that is swiftly disappearing. "I'm not > nostalgic. Once something is gone, it's gone," he says, a bit spikily. "I > like change. There's something Buddhist about it ? continuous change is > wonderful." His photographs are not an attempt to capture any preconceived > aspect of India, he says. "I've no political agenda. I'm looking at what I > see. I'm not political and I don't judge." > > It's unfortunate that he's feeling rather ill-disposed to the Guardian when > I visit him, the result of a quarrel he's had that morning with someone he > suspects works for the paper. Our discussion of his trip to India gets > interspersed with more and more information about a man he describes as "a > fucking square from squaresville" who appears to have told Bailey to "go > screw yourself" during an altercation over who had right of way in the > alleyway by the Guardian building, which, it turns out, is next to Bailey's > flat. > > Details begin to pour out when I ask if he feels optimistic about the > direction of change in India. I never find out what he thinks, because he > replies, "I don't feel very optimistic in London. I've already had a fight > with some wanker from the Guardian this morning." He mutters something > about not feeling optimistic about the human race in general, and it takes > a bit of time to draw the conversation back to Delhi. He was clear from the > outset that he had no interest in taking pictures of the modern side of > India. "It's so ugly. It looks like a nightmare to me. I knew I didn't want > to go to the skyscrapers. I went and had a look, but there was nothing > there for me. It's such a hodgepodge of bad taste... more amusing than > depressing." > > Bailey has been going to India since the 1960s, has taken pictures of > everyone there worth photographing, from Mother Teresa to Aishwarya Rai, > but Delhi Dilemma is the product of an intensive burst of three weeks' > work, three years ago, with lots of pictures poured into two volumes. "It's > better to do it straight away," he says, "because your eye gets used to > things very quickly. You have to start taking pictures on the way from the > airport. If I'd been there for three months, it wouldn't have been better. > If I'd been there for six months, it wouldn't have been better. > > "You can't stop. No time for sunbathing?" he adds. He worked with an > assistant from 6am until midnight. "There's not one minute free ? if you > want to eat, forget it," he laughs. When he works in India, he survives on > bananas and oranges. "The assistants usually get sick. I'm used to it, so I > never eat anything I can't peel." > > Despite the speed with which he took the pictures, they took a long time to > come to print, partly because he spent months getting his publisher to find > the right sort of paper ? an uncoated, unvarnished product with which he is > delighted. "Smell it!" he urges. "Smell it!" > > The dilemma the title refers to was the difficulty of distilling into one > book the character of a city "that has been photographed by lots of great > photographers, including lots of Indian ones, since the 1840s". He didn't > want to make the pictures feel too National Geographic or too touristy, and > is happy with the way they've come out ? quick snapshots that he says > should be looked at together, as "a complete story", more like a movie than > individual images. > > He likes working in India. "It's harder for me to photograph people here > because people recognise me. There, you just look like a tourist. The more > you look like a tourist, the better. Half the time, they don't even notice > you." > > Some of his favourite pictures in the book are of blocks of colour ? mint > green, deep blue and ochre ? juxtaposed like fashion textiles, but on > closer inspection they turn out to be bits of plastic and strips of sari > material that seem to make up the roof of a slum dwelling. He quotes Vogue > editor Diana Vreeland, who said "pink is the navy blue of India", and > wishes he'd thought that up himself. > > He doesn't find the poverty particularly disturbing. "I've been to more > depressing places ? Sudan, Afghanistan. Can't get emotionally involved... > You have to be a bit outside it. You want to adopt those children and bring > them back, and then you'd end up bringing 30 million back." > > He didn't find the heavy traffic particularly oppressive, either. "You find > that in London. It took me an hour to get to the Ivy the other day. Have > you driven across Paris lately?" > > The mention of traffic reminds him of the man ("about 45, sandals, of > course") who stepped out in front of his car that morning, forcing him to > brake and then failing to thank him for stopping. "I said, 'You might have > been polite and said thank you,'" but the man flicked him two fingers. "He > was so aggressive. Then he walked into the Guardian building. So > arrogant... Tell them to be careful who they pick on next time. I could've > been Reg Kray." > > After this, he doesn't much seem to want to talk about Delhi, and switches > to explaining how he was persuaded to vote for the first time in his life > in the 2010 election. He voted Conservative after taking a picture of "that > finance guy... what's his name? Osborne. He made so much sense, Osborne. > I never voted before. I always thought they were a bunch of wankers, > politicians. I still think most of them are a bunch of wankers." He is also > a great fan of the London mayor. "I voted for Boris, too. He'd be great to > have as prime minister. We could have a bit of fun," he says, pauses, and > adds: "I think Obama is good ? I'd vote for him." > > He occasionally enjoys taking their pictures. "My two favourite politicians > to photograph are Tony Benn and Margaret Thatcher," he says, particularly > Thatcher because "she was good fun and had a sense of humour". > > Did he find it odd, the experience of voting for the first time aged 72?
