Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, 1996, INDIA-10233. Three men wait on blue steps.??\u00bbIt is a hot afternoon in the Old Quarter, the Brahman section of Jodhpur. Three city workmen wait for their afternoon tea, delivered each day by a street vendor. McCurry discovers these wonderful juxtapositions of colour, shapes and planes during his ‘wanderings’, long walks during which he focuses attention on the here and now, being fully open to what each moment brings. Here, the red jumps out of the blue as if in an abstract painting, yet remains centered within the lives of these three men, patiently awaiting their tea.\u00bb – Phaidon 55??Magnum Photos, NYC5911, MCS1996002K145??Phaidon, Iconic Images, final book_iconic, page 13.??On the edge of the Thar Desert is Jodhpur, once the capital of a princely state. Its medieval quarter, surrounded by a ten-kilometer wall, is a maze of alleyways, often only wide enough for a man or a cow to pass. There are no cars or motorcycles, only vendors hawking their wares on foot. The old city is blue. Local guides say that the blue wash of the houses originally indicated the homes of the upper-caste Brahmins, custodians of holy places and the written word. Others contradict this, saying buildings used to be painted white, before the discovery that copper sulfate added to the white-lime-wash- turning it blue- deterred nesting termites. It caught on. Varieties of blue, from royal blue to aquamarine, form the backdrop for a theatre of colour played out its streets, defying the parched orange of the surrounding desert. McCurry, Steve. (2000). South SouthEast. London: Phaidon Press Limited., 139??At the heart of the old city of Jodhpur is the medieval quarter. The area is made up of a network of passageways, where the walls are all painted blue. There McCurry happened upon these three workers taking a break from their labours.??South Southeast_Book?Steve Mccurry_Book?Iconic_Book?Milan_Exhibit_’09??Retouched_Sonny Fabbri 08\/04\/2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
