I have exhibited my photographs in many different venues and published some as limited or open edition folios. The exposure of my work is summarized on this page with detailed information for each being available on their dedicated pages. I hope that you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed photographing them.The brief descriptions you see on the right are augmented by a collection of the photographs exhibited along with other supporting materials like slide shows and catalogs when available.
In addition to having exhibited my photographs as collections, I have received other awards and produced unique works. You will see them among the list of exhibits with brief explanations and links to works when possible.

Touching The History: Photographs From The Dome Of Hagia Sophia
I had the privilege to see the Great Church, Hagia Sophia from the vantage point of its central dome. Riding the elevator to the top of the scaffolding erected for restoration, I actually touched the center of the dome and spent hours in that magnificent space and outside on the roof. This series of exhibits displayed photographs taken from the extraordinary vantage points, probably not seen before. The first exhibit excluded some of the photographs that exhibit 2 and 3 included. This was mainly due to space constraints and logistics. You can view the collection of the photographs in a special gallery. There is a limited edition folio of photographs as well as a booklet that includes all the photographs with a short essay available in the store section of the site. [Read More]
