Though not the typical pilgrim to Benares--India's holy city on the Ganges River--Michael Ackerman reveals in these photographs a reverent fascination with the city's visitors and residents and their faith. Ackerman's search for those moments that hint beyond the surfaces of that city, capturing trance-like glimpses of religious zeal itself.
