They mostly intended to capture their lives within the threshold of their ‘homes’. Most of the early photographs depicted the women in their lives. As the narratives of their lives changed gradually, they soon started capturing their children, their pets and the outer world too. The students also got the opportunity to have a look at the some of the cameras used by the sisters.
The students had an enriching experience in the exhibition. The field trip was a huge success.
