Yes, Specially this is a special edition and I somehow get this.
At the first glance I just blown away by these kind of colour photography in 1970-1975 era.
In India very rarely colour film has used at that time to document something that too with brilliant composition sense.
Raghubir Singh is one of my favourite street photographer.
