Immediately outside the Jama Masjid mosque in Delhi. A few months after we visited the mosque was bombed in an act of terrorism.

I’m surprised at how well “old” photos have survived. The quality of the film emulsion initially, the quality of the optics, and the lack of degradation over time often give a better photo than a cheap modern camera. This photo is my dad in December 1959; a scan of a color slide that’s almost fifty years old.
