AfricaBlog: Banner Archives

Banner

The banner for AfricaBlog was made using images from African Ceremonies, an amazingly beautiful look at Africa's diverse cultures.

Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher's lifelong commitment to photographing the vanishing rituals and customs of tribal African cultures culminates in their monumental masterwork, AFRICAN CEREMONIES. Ten years in the making, this definitive work contains nearly 850 full-color photographs covering dozens of ceremonies that span the human life cycle: from birth and initiations, through courtship and marriage, royal coronations, seasonal rituals and healing exorcisms, to death.

Quite worth your time.
