Vinu,
Can you please contact me at douglas.jones@turner.com in regards to your photo’s out of Mumbai? CNN international is interested in using them for our roling coverage on the current security situation there.
Please email me your phone number if possible so we can expedite the process

good job at taking those mumbai pics…i saw them on flickr…be sure to be safe on the net.
hey, that photo of yours with the Buddhist monk burning himself, is that real? Did you capture it? Do you happen to knw why he did that?
On behalf of the many thousands of people who have now found your images online after the tragic events in Mumbai, thank you for sharing these images. You have a good eye, excellent camerawork — it gives us a lens into what you and others must be experiencing there.
Venu, great pics. Message me back — would love to interview you — it’s CNN international
Saw your photos on Flickr, stay safe! Hope this can end without much more bloodshed, its so sad. God bless
Vinu,
Your photos have made a great impact on me and may be so many others. I cried as I saw photos of blood, helpless people and poorly equipped cops who are supposed to defend us from ak47 weilding terrorists. It must have been a terrible night for you and so many other Mumbaikars. We as a nation dont deserve this terror.
-Deepti
Hi Vinu,
before am few minutes I saw your Mumbai-Pictures in CNN here in Germany. It is horrible! And I feel with the people, especially because for two times I was in India (long ago) and like it very much. There is no excuse for this kind of terror neither in India nor in the rest of the world.
So with all my sympathy from Berlin,
Gabriela

None of this discussion is meant to impugn the general practice of credit, which has an important and vital function on the free market. ,
hey !sent u an email about being in Bombay…..let me know if u r still there…wld be great to catch up !
Vinu,
I’m taking the lead of CNN international who contacted you over this forum about using your photos.
I’d actually like a picture of you! I am currently the editor for a forthcoming mass communication book where the author discusses your poignant coverage of the Mumbai attacks. We’d love to run a photo of you alongside the discussion.
Can you please contact me by email “to “expedite the process” as they say. Happy to give you a call if needed.
Thanks,
Christina
