Let's See is a photo-novel of Dayanita Singh's earliest years as a photographer a return to a time when she did not yet consider herself a photographer the probing remembrance of an eye I no longer have access to. Singh has recently poured through 40 years of her archive-80% of which remains unseen-exploring scans of her contact sheets and being amazed by the gentle and tender images from the 1980s and '90s she had since forgotten-hostel roommates friends with whom she lived family weddings funerals portraits of herself and those who would become important characters in her life: her mother Nony Singh Zakir Hussain Mona Ahmed whom she depicted in the emotive visual biography Myself Mona Ahmed (2001). Singh's first camera a Pentax ME Super with a 50mm lens was a gift from the German publisher Ernst Battenberg (1927-92) and with it she made photos of everything I could trying to make a roll of film last as long as possible creating contact sheets of all her images but realizing the rare luxury of an individual print only for a publication or a book project. I call this book Let's See says Singh because these images are about exactly that: how we see what we don't see what only the camera sees...
