Ellis Island: Ghosts of Freedom by Steven Wilkes (2006)

Absolutely fascinating book of photographs taken over a several year period at the long-abandoned hospital at Ellis Island, where new immigrants were housed if they did not pass the medical test. The photographer used no artificial lighting and no retouching in any way and the photographs are amazingly beautiful. At the end of the book, he provides a fascinating look at the conditions under which each photograph was taken, including stories of rather haunting experiences.
