Debbie Fleming Caffery, Isabelle, 2005. Courtesy Gitterman Gallery"The Spirit & the Flesh," the title of her new book of pictures from Mexico, though applicable to all her work, is especially appropriate for this exhibition of pictures from the book, many of them taken in brothels.

There are echoes here of Brassaï, Bellocq, and Bravo.
