We discovered जिम माउलांग (ador JM) (@khunimei) via his picture of the whitewashed monoliths on instagram. Amidst all the silhouetted monoliths with some profoundly obvious poetic disasters, his monoliths were white-washed and fenced in, inviting not some tourist disappointment but an insider’s curse. Resisting the cliches which pass off as photographs of #Shillong #Meghalaya – जिम माउलांग (with a very few likes) plods on with his low pixel mobile vision. Unlike, those HDR happy hands, brandishing their lovely DSLRs, जिम माउलांग has been engaged in a search for the common, a history of the obvious. Like any good photograph, his images are not just about the technical or ‘eye-candy’ but about meaning, resolutely defying coffee-table gloss in favour of the historical complexity of truth
