Last week it was my honour and privilege to accompany Raghu Rai,
India's foremost documentary photographer and photojournalist, on a
shooting trip to the ancient city of Mahabalipuram near Chennai. For
starters, here are two studies of the master himself:

Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome.
A selection of Raghu Rai's images for those who are interested:

Though to me, his greatest image will always be the iconic one he took
in the aftermath of the Bhopal tragedy, which really says it all:
