WHO? This is Koushik Sinha Roy, a high school teacher by profession and street photographer by passion. I was born and brought up in a sub-divisional town, Uluberia of Haora district, West Bengal, India and have been trying to figure out who the hell or heaven actually I am, but officially I am one of the members of the international collective ‘Little Box’ and the founder of Instagram and Flickr pool- ‘lyrical_sp’. My photographs reflect my psyche and thus may tell a whole lot about me.

Interview with Alexandra Avlonitis
WHO? I am Alexandra Avlonitis, Brooklyn-born and living in Manhattan my entire adult life. I pursued my interest in art starting in my high school years – I studied drawing at the Art Students League and elsewhere – but detoured off that path when I was obliged to select a career choice.
