Photographer and fashion designer Klein's eye for the fetching image is good and intelligent. The photographs in this thematic album, most of them printed to fill an entire 10-by-12-inch page or two, seem selected for beauty's sake and to emphasize the cross as both form and religious symbol. The cross is implicit in the human body: stand with feet together and arms at right angles to the torso, and you are a cross. Time and again, that physical fact invests a particular photo with meaning. A bare-chested young man pulls a leather helmet over his head; a cross of light glimmering through the mask's nose aperture is echoed by the youth's upper arms and torso and, hovering over his apparently purposive gaze, conjures the militancy of a crusader. Virtually every picture, black-and-white or color, fashion photo or documentary snapshot, is as dramatically suggestive, though often more subtly, and as ponderable. This is photography as theology.
