Religion, religion everywhere

There's a lovely exhibit of photographs on at the moment in the foyer of the Brooklyn Public Library. It's called Diversity of Devotion, a collaborative project by many photographers, started after 9/11 by Jenny Jozwiak. Several of the pictures are on their website; here are some of them. (Not on the website are some of my favorites; I'll see if I can find images somewhere.)
