About this Series, Wednesday 28th August 2007
My Indian friend Xerxes pointed me to the largest hmt Agent in Bombay. I
decided to shoot a series of the Tarun (meaning Youth) model with some Indian
props from around the house. Since the original rubber band had deteriorated, I
decided to put that Tarun on a locally (Bangkok) purchased inexpensive flex band
underlining its vintage looks.
