Celebrations: From Birth to Death and From New Year's to Christmas
In this remarkable book, noted photojournalist Caterine Milinaire has turned her attention to celebration in the twentieth century, capturing the beauty and essence of the celebratory spirit we all share. As Milimaire’s extraordinary photographs guide us from an Apache puberty ritual to a fiery funeral pyre in Indonesia, and from a traditional Fourth of July picnic to a May Day workers’ rally in Paris, she provides us with a vital record of the similarities and differences in the way ceremonies are performed throughout the world today. A celebration in itself, “Celebrations” offers all the mystery and spectacle, joy and sorrow of the human drama – and the special moments we all share, no matter what our time, age, or country.
