Statue, Trivandrum: Imagine:

-- The view of the Secretariat through a small glass container.
-- Three women -- an old Sari-clad Tamilian, a smiling young policewoman, and a foreign tourist, fresh from a bath -- caught in one frame.
-- Among all the rotten and disgusting stuff in a garbage truck are two little children, sleeping comfortably, with their parents pulling the truck.

These are but three of the photographs in the Capital Lens View Portfolio 2010 photography expo held at the Press Club here, by the photo journalists of Trivandrum, and the Trivandrum Press Club.

Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan inaugurated the exhibition on Thursday, after which he was presented a photograph of his, by the photo journalists. Ports Minister V Surendran Pillai also visited the expo.

There are no prizes, this is no competition. As many as 80 photos, two from each of the 40 participating photo journalists, have been put up for the three-day expo that ends tomorrow. There is a certain unity with photos of journalists working for the various media in the city coming together at one place.
