LIGHT IN THE DESERT: PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE MONASTERY OF CHRIST IN THE DESERT After being imprisoned in Afghanistan while on assignment for Life magazine in 1989, photojournalist Tony O’Brien sought solace and perspective at the monastery.

During his yearlong residency, O’Brien was granted rare access to photograph the monastery, and the daily activities and offices that have been kept in a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages.
