Stefan Falke: Moko Jumbies



The Brooklyn-based German photographer Stefan Falke has been visiting Trinidad and photographing Carnival for well over a decade. In 2004 he published Moko Jumbies: The Dancing Spirits of Trinidad, a beautifully designed and printed book documenting the young stilt-walkers of the Keylemanjahro Scool of Arts and Culture. (Read Keith Smith's review in the February 2005 CRB.) More recently, Falke posted a series of spreads from Moko Jumbies as a Flickr photoset--an excellent way to give possible readers a sense of the book's gorgeousness.
