On tour, Fatehpur Sikri, India, 2008

The Emperor Akbar’s famous abandoned palace draws almost as many tourists as the Taj Mahal. I caught one tour getting both an eye and ear full from their guide while standing in the shade of one of its many doorways. I only show the hand of the guide, who seems to be answering a question from one of his tour members. I abstract them as silhouettes, and make them seem very small in comparison to the vast palace complex.

Monochromatic means "containing only one color" We often think of it as referring to black and white imaging, but in this case, the one color is that of four hundred year old sunbaked sandstone.

It is amazing to me how an essential monochromatic image can have such "color."
