Emily Mendonsa: Last summer, while traveling around Utter Pradesh, India, doing research on women's health, I visited the Taj Mahal one afternoon with a group of Stanford students. Within minutes of our arrival, the sky filled with dark clouds and a powerful rainstorm began. We joined the hundreds of drenched, incredulous visitors running toward the Taj Mahal for shelter and eventually settled under the sandstone mosque to the left of the Taj Mahal to wait out the storm. After a few minutes, a little boy stepped forward to survey the scene – a Wonder of the World, drenched against a cloudy sky – and it was his silhouette that I intended to capture in this photo. When I look at the photo now, though, my eyes are drawn elsewhere: to the women walking across the center of the photo, the only spots of color in an otherwise monochrome scene.
