Go to the Advanced Search page on the Magnum site. Type Taj Mahal in the search terms and choose Raghu Rai in the list of photographers. You get a number of very different views of the Taj Mahal, including 2 which are really not very touristy at all: http://www.magnumphotos.com/Archive/C.aspx?VP=Mod_ViewBox.ViewBoxZoom_ VPage&VBID=2K1HZOBQ1QH3W&IT=ImageZoom01&PN=26&STM=T&DTTM=Image&SP=Sear ch&IID=2TYRYDDOKLMX&SAKL=T&SGBT=T&DT=Image http://tinyurl.com/4cwnxu This one has a strange ghost image in it: http://www.magnumphotos.com/Archive/C.aspx?VP=Mod_ViewBox.ViewBoxZoom_ VPage&VBID=2K1HZOBQ1QH3W&IT=ImageZoom01&PN=4&STM=T&DTTM=Image&SP=Searc h&IID=2S5RYDIY60EF&SAKL=T&SGBT=T&DT=Image http://tinyurl.com/4897mj > btw, raghubir singh also has a book on the series > 3 morris oxford, which became the legendary ambassador car here in > india and which is still being produced: > http://tinyurl.com/3ve2pq > I've never been very taken with Raghubir Singh's pictures. They always seem to lack something and feel rather soulless to me.
