Clyde Waddell was the chief photographer of Houston Press. He spent some memorable days in Kolkata and during 1945-1946 he photographed some valuable memories of then Calcutta which are now very precious documents of about 70 year's old days. The socio-economic status of the then citizens was depicted in these photos. He prepared an album with 60 photos and named the album "A Yank's Memories Of Calcutta". Some photos of this series are available on net, but most other photos are not so known to all. For this reason, an exhibition named 'A Yank's Memories Of Calcutta' is now running at Aakriti Art Gallery of Hungerford Street. It'll run from 8 December, 2014 to 24 January, 2015 daily from 5pm to 8pm.
