कोइरीपुरKoiripur
The Shivala temple at Koiripur, the row of shuttered shopfronts in front of it, and a hand-painted Devanagari signboard. It is the first and so far the only street-level photograph of Koiripur found in any open collection. The resolution is low and a filter has been applied; neither has been corrected, because the archive keeps an item as it was found.

On the map

No GPS fix has been taken for this place, so no point is drawn. Showing an approximate point would make it look surveyed, and that is precisely the mistake this map avoids.

To photograph this place

  • Wide — where it is, in its surroundings
  • Medium — what it is, in use
  • Detail — one thing that dates it: a signboard, a hinge, a plate, an inscription

Available light, no flash, native 3:2, level horizon, corrected verticals. RAW + JPEG, GPS on, bearing logged.
