This is a lovely book (oversize: 10x12") featuring gorgeous black & white photos on virtually every page. Drooker titled his introductory essay "Finding Myself in Lost Worlds," and it's clear he journeys and photographs with a passion for capturing an intimate visual experience. Here he presents photos of 34 sites in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America, along with narrative and descriptive text. Author Pico Iyer provides a foreword.
