One Helluva
Holy Morning
Drawing
some 70 million Hindu pilgrims, India's Maha Kumbh Mela
is not only the world's largest and most colorful
religious spectacle, but was in 2001 the largest
gathering of humanity ever recorded. Throw a herd of
international photographers into the mix, a few thousand
naked Naga warriors--then ban photography--and you have
a recipe for mayhem on a grand scale. Published as "Snap
Happy and the Nagas" by Traveler's Tales Books,
2003.
"The most
offbeat, entertaining 'reportage' I've read in a very
long time. Stevens is shame proof."

"Bennett
Stevens is a man apparently bereft of any cultural
sensitivity whatsoever."
