Umbrellas for shade

Carrying umbrellas for shade against the desert sun and bright colored banners of faith, Pilgrims pour into Mina from Muzdalifah. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin portrays these crowning moments in the life of men, rich and poor, from places as far apart as Malaysia and Mali, Nigeria and Japan, Indonesia and Iraq. He was among the first to be given permission to photograph sections of the Sacred Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina.
