Foto Friday – Holy Land

November 7, 2008 - 12:22 AM by

Photographer Guy Raivitz recently announced a new work in progress, “Holy Land”, in which he explores the three major religions that put Jerusalem and the land of Israel at their center. Each one of these photos is part of a larger series.

Ravitz is interested in the internal process of worship and how it is exernalized.

He is respectful of his subjects, always bearing in mind that what they are doing is not for show. To see more of “Holy Land”, visit Guy’s website.

    2. Islam does not put Jerusalem/Israel at its center.

    And why is it that the religions that exist in the far east are not considered “major ones”? China and India have rather large populations.
