Jim Casper reviews Immortal, a collection of photographs by Vee Speers:

At once alluring and disquieting, these portraits of naked beautiful youths are set against backdrops of Eden-like natural beauty, or scenes of post-apocalyptic destruction. These Immortals are real people, young and beautiful, but they seem isolated, exposed and vulnerable, trapped, distant, on guard, defiant, all alone in a strange land, and confronted by echoes of subliminal fears and insecurities.

A Christian man hangs a banner depicting of Jesus Christ in front of a towering cross on the eve of the Elevation of the Holy Cross, in the village of Qanat Bekish, in the Lebanese mountains 1,800 metres of above sea level on September 13, 2010. Lebanon's Maronite Christian church inaugurated the cross that stands 73.8 meters tall. The cross, which will be lit up with 1,800 lights, was built on a mountain near a church constructed in 1898. Building the cross took about two years and cost some $1.5 million, mainly using donations from the Maronite church and a French Catholic group. The cross which its builders say is the largest in the world was inaugurated on the Elevation of the Holy Cross, marking the recovery of the cross on which Jesus Christ is believed to have been crucified by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius in 627 AD after defeating the Sassanid Persians.
