A monument. A memory. And a little July curiosity.
Hi there,
This might sound a little strange.
But the other day, I came across a bit of trivia that made me smile.
Exactly 7 years ago—almost to the day—Victoria Memorial hosted a photo exhibition called Frozen in Time.
Colonial-era images of Kolkata, captured more than a century ago.
Preserved. Nostalgic. Quietly moving.
And it got me thinking…
As a baby photographer in Kolkata, I freeze time too—just in a different way.
Then this wild, almost silly thought popped into my head:
Isn’t baby photography kind of like Victoria Memorial?
It made me laugh at first.
And then… it made a surprising amount of sense.
Both are tributes.
Both are built to outlast time.
One in marble. The other in memory.
The more I followed the thread, the more parallels tumbled out.
That was a July. This is July.
A city’s landmark. A family’s keepsake.
Both frozen in time—and somehow still alive.
So I wrote a little story.
A love letter, really—to both photography and memory.
It’s up on my website now. A quick, heartfelt read.
And if you’ve ever stood before Victoria Memorial and felt a flutter…
or looked at a baby photo and time-travelled…
…I think you’ll enjoy this. ♥️
Thank you for letting me share these little thoughts with you.
It means more than you know.
With love, from marble domes to memory lanes,
Suchanda
