Windows of the Soul—A Great Book

My dear friend, Alexandra Avakian has been a National Geographic photographer for years. She has dodged bullets to get photos, as well as riding UN vehicles into dangerous regions in order to get where the action is. At one point, while photographing refugees rushing onto an evacuation ship, she was knocked overboard, all in the name of “getting that shot.” Alex’s book, Windows to the Soul: My Journeys in the Muslim World was included on Oprah’s “Season’s Best Gift Books” list.  If you’re looking for a book with some outstanding photos, this would be a great one for you. Or if you just want to browse through some photos that are at times, poignant, at times, disturbing, go to the National Geo blog for this book. To the right side of the blog, you can click on “See more images from this book.” Enjoy!
