History Laid In The Shade"Step Into The Golden Hour Where Ancient History Meets Timeless Beauty"My love affair with Greece began before I could fully comprehend it—a journey in 1972 when I was just five years old. Though my memories exist primarily through my parents' retellings, that initial encounter planted seeds that would grow into a lifelong passion for Greek culture, history, and mythology.These early impressions formed the foundation of who I would become as a fine art photographer. Now, decades later, I find myself repeatedly drawn back to these shores, chasing that perfect alignment of ancient stone and golden light that speaks to something profound within us all.There's an indescribable feeling that washes over me when I stand alone at dawn among the ruins of a Byzantine basilica at Agios Stefanos in Kos. The weight of centuries rests in these weathered stones—countless lives, stories, and civilizations that have come and gone while these structures endured. As the first light of day paints these relics with warm hues, I'm reminded why I willingly rise in darkness and venture out while others sleep.My camera becomes more than a tool in these moments; it's a bridge connecting present to past. Each photograph I create attempts to capture not just the visual splendor, but the emotional resonance of standing in places where history is physically manifest—where you can touch the same stones that countless generations before you have touched.This is why I dedicate myself to photographing Greece's archaeological treasures in their most flattering light. Through my fine art prints, I invite others to experience that same connection to history, that same sense of wonder that has guided my life's creative journey."Ancient Mornings: Finding Peace in Mediterranean Light" Download this visual and literary meditation ebook for free now on my website.
