India-Picture will seduce you to a far off world. Maybe you know some of the places and people seen in the pictures. I am a Journalist who once studied Indology. I want to develop India Picture as a non-profit project. All income at present from the sale of the pictures will go directly back into the project. The collection of Pictures will be enhanced updated and modified as far as I can find time for this. In the long term I will change the financing of the project from selling pictures to sponsorship. Though presently there is a lot of traffic (more than 2000 page impressions a day, still increasing). For sponsors there will be a separate page. So if you feel like sponsoring this site write me a few lines and I will contact you. The money will go into better technical equipment as Slide-Scanner, Content Management System or a faster Webspace. If there is more, I will take it for the supply of new Pictures. Most of the pictures are scanned slides. - At present there is no other procedure that can produce comparable results. No digital camera can take pictures that have a size of 5000x3300, in a sum, 16,5 Million Pixelels. If not zipped such a picture is a file of up to 90MB. As a rule enlargements of parts of the picture make sense. You see an example beside. The marked sector has in spite of a high compression still more than 600KB or 2200x3000 pixels! Pictures are sent in electronic form, as eMail, larger orders are collected on CD. I can order for you Enlargements on paper or slides but I can take only responsibility for the electronic original. The pictures exhibited here are only a part of my archives. If you are interested in other motives feel free to ask me.
