This collection of beautiful photographs illustrate the complex mythology and spiritual depth of Haitian Vodou. The text is somewhat lacking and will not provide any new knowledge of the subject matter but the carefully composed images are simply stunning. There is one in particular I would love to have as a print. I come back to this book again and again.
