5. Socio-Anthropological Research and Photographic  Documentation of

Assam, Mizoram, Meghalaya, and Tripura in  North East India.

Received from an Indian media group, the  Times of India Fellowship in 
1990 as a work in progress for the tribes of the North East.
 
Currently (1995) have received a grant to continue work on the NAGA Tribes. 
Project is being carried out in collaboration with the "INSTITUTTET FOR 
SAMMENLIGNE NDE KULTURFORSKNING" (Institute of Comparative Research 
in Human  Culture, Oslo, Norway. )                                          

Photography is the main tool for visual documentation of the tribes and     
people of this region. 

At present I am developing a photo archive and a book of the NAGA tribes in 
Nagaland. The next step in this project will be to make a CD ROM which will 
include many of these photographs as well as video clips and music. 

Concurrently I am working in Arunachal Pradesh using photography to 
document the lives of the Mishmi, Adi, and Apatani tribes, and in 
Manipur State to photograph the Meiteis.

Note: I am interested in collaboration with anthropologists and 
historians with an interest in this region (closed to foreigners for 
last 25 years). Photographs and data available for specific research or 
on long term loans to Museums, Archives, Libraries, Universities with 
Socio-Anthropological departments/faculties,  for research purposes.
