This project documents, through photography,
Christian Holy Week and Easter around the world. Each year, I
travel to a different country and do my best to capture
definitive imagery. So far I've passed Holy Week in Guatemala, the Philippines,
Spain, Haiti, Italy, Greece, Ethiopia, Colombia, Armenia, Israel,
Russia, India, Egypt, New Zealand, Australia, Easter Island (Chile),
Lebanon, Brazil, and Senegal. The first year, in 2003, I innocently photographed
Good Friday processions here in New York not knowing it might be my
life's work.
