The "Amby"

I just picked up a copy of Raghubir Singh's book of photographs "A Way into India" It was his last project before his death in 1999 at age 58 from a heart attack. Although Cartier Bresson is often cited as a mentor, Singh couldn't imagine only shooting in black & white; instead he explored the vibrant colors of his homeland, often, as one writer points out, through the mostly white little Ambassador car.
