Well, at the risk of boring you with these videos, I am posting a last one (promise)!
Touching The History Photography Exhibit
July 26, 2010 By 3 Comments
You might have read about my unique experience in the dome of Hagia Sophia and the first photography exhibit of the work of that experience in Cleveland last May-June. This fall, a slightly expanded version of the same exhibit is coming to Rhode Island. The small preview images below do not do justice to the 16×20 inch framed photographs, printed on special metallic paper to replicate the reflectivity of gold that surrounds the Great Dome. Visit the exhibit, come to the opening reception, hear my experience, and see the Great Church from a vantage point you most likely have not seen.
Below are the specifics:
Touching The History: Photographs From The Dome Of Hagia Sophia
Dates: September 8 – October 22, 2010
Location: Providence College Hunt-Cavanaugh Art Gallery
Gallery hours: 9 AM – 4 PM Monday-Friday
Opening reception: September 16, 2010 5 – 7 PM, Gallery talk at 6:00 PM
I may be able to arrange off hour visits for those who cannot make it during the gallery hours, contact me for special arrangements.
Here are some of the photographs in digital format.
Charlie Rose Interviews Henri Cartier-Bresson
July 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Charlie Rose runs one of the best interview shows on television. He brings in interesting people (or goes out to see them) and engages them in very interesting conversations. I have watched his programs on TV and online and wanted to share some related to photography here. You may want to visit his site, CharlieRose.com and see if there are others that will be of interest to you. Additionally, you can find real gems if you search the old videos at Google Videos. Here is a rare footage with Henri Cartier Bresson (about 1 hour).
Follow the above by a recent interview with photographer and HCB’s widow Martine Franck, the director of the Museum of Modern Art’s department of photography Peter Galassi, and the director of Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Agnes Sire.

Munki See, Munki Do: Display Calibration

X-Rite ColorMunki Photo
I am amazed that many photographers, far too many of them work on a monitor with no calibration, no profiling and get surprised when they do not achieve the expected colors from their prints. I have made quite a few presentations on digital workflow, and have been preaching the importance of color management starting with the display monitor calibration and profiling. The importance of a calibrated and properly profiled display monitor cannot be overemphasized. It is a must, period. The rest of the color-manged workflow depends on it.
Hagia Sophia Folio
September 19, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I have created a folio containing 12 photographs taken from the unique (and generally off-limits) vantage point of the dome of Hagia Sophia. They are printed photographically on metallic paper which brings out the reflective qualities of gold extremely well. The folio opens with a title page, includes a certificate of authenticity, and continues with a collection of 12 photographs. They are all enclosed in a hand-made gold-charcoal folio cover. I sign and number the certificate of authenticity and the folio cover. This stunning collection will make an excellent addition to anyone’s art collection.
The current price of the folio is $250 per set and will increase to $300 after the copy number 6, to $400 after copy number 10. There may be additional increases after that and the total number of folios of this collection will be limited to 18 copies with no more than 3 artist proofs.
Available copies are:
| Copy | Price | Status |
| #1-#6 | $250 | Sold |
| #7-#10 | $300 | Sold |
| #11-14 | $400 | Sold |
| #15-#18 | $400 * | Available |
| * Subject to change | ||
Please contact me using the form on the “Contact” page if you have questions or are interested in acquiring a copy for your collection or for gift giving. If you live nearby, I will be glad to show you the actual folio.
