Memories of Dhingra Uncle

Nanak Dhingra was known to a great many people — in the forests, in the pump business, and as “Dhingra Uncle” to a generation of younger photographers he encouraged along the way. If you knew him, we would love you to leave a memory here: a story from a safari, a piece of advice he gave you, a photograph you remember him making, or simply what he meant to you.
