Agra and Fatehpur Sikri, 1977

These are the shots off the first roll of 35mm film that I had shot using a Yashica Minister III rangefinder camera, gifted by my father on joining SPA as a First Year student of Architecture in 1977. These pictures of Fatehpur Sikri and Agra were taken during our first class study trip with the faculty members Prof. C S H Jhabvala, Narendra Dengle and Yogesh Kumar. Needless to say that the shot of the Taj from Agra Fort will probably no longer look like this, for that matter nor would my classmates, some of whom had posed for the camera at Fatehpur Sikri!
