India

In 1989 I went on a Photographic Trip to Rajasthan, visiting Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur, Udaipur, and taking in the Pushkar Camel Fair. I used slide films for this trip and with the weather so sunny it has produced difficulties in scanning some of the slides. The images below are just a taste of India.
