All Play. No Work.

#Aranipress was a #letterpress that was owned and run by my grandfather Sachindra Nath Roy, in the ground floor of our Behala Sourin Roy Road residence. The primary job of the press was printing of India’s first ceramic journal #indianceramics edited, typeset and printed in the press. Back in the days of my childhood I have seen my Dad, Partha Roy, help him with running both the journal and the press. It involved acquiring articles and advertisements, final proofing and global shipments to the subscribers. There was a whole team dedicated to the press itself... typesetters, block makers, proof readers and people involved in the actual operation of the #heidelbergletterpress My interest in typography I believe, stems from here.

Dad had an immense knowledge of blooms and could identify leaves and flowers with great ease and thus whenever I would see a flower I didn’t know the name of, I would take a picture of it to show it to him and to find out more about it. He always cherished looking at them and sharing his knowledge with me. What started as a mere documentation soon became a beautiful series on Instagram that I call #dolinmanjournal @dolinman being my Instagram name. Now that he is not there with us anymore, the series reminds me of him and all the beautiful conversations we had not so long ago. I keep shooting these now as a dedication for him... I do miss him like crazy. In memory of Partha Roy.
