I got to see a very small sample of pictures while I was archiving, cataloging and re-arranging them. There is surely a lot of potential in making the NID archives in a real Photo-Library in future. It was breathtaking to know the modes, and methods the people did for shooting in these exotic places. Got some realtime experience with the lab assistants who have been working from past 35 years in the institute.

It was a great way to learn and identify more about your own place of education. It was astonsihing to see the amount of the source NID carries in its shoulder. I am more than happy in starting the re-arranging process to put them in order, towards the golden jubilee publication.

To be under my own coordinator, let me know more about him. His credentials and more importantly having dialogues whenever possible, enriched the time well spent.

During the period of internship, I got to assist DJ for the Basic Photography modules, to various disciplines in NID. Till now I got to work with him for 8 weeks of Teaching Assistantship, other than the archiving business in the institute. This included a trip to Champaner with Animation and Toy design students. It has always been an enjoying experience to get new friends through this.
