Hagia Sophia Revisited

July 14, 2020 by A. Cemal Ekin

Hagia Sophia Entrance, looking toward narthex, exedra on both sides

Almost ten years ago, my exhibit opened on Providence College campus showing the photographs of Hagia Sophia. I took those photographs in 2009 after a good friend arranged a visit to the restoration site and we took the elevator to the level inside its magnificent dome. I spent hours inside and around the dome, even stepping outside to walk on its roof to enjoy the … [Read more...] about Hagia Sophia Revisited

Old Photographs and Older Places

July 1, 2020 by A. Cemal Ekin

Temple to Zeus, Diocaesarea (Uzuncaburç)

When we were living in Adana, many ancient historic places were a day trip away. We could go west or east and stop at different places to see the remnants of times long gone. In this article, I would like to take you to a place on the Taurus (Toros) Mountains, above the small town of Silifke, called Uzuncaburç. It roughly translates as Tallish Towers and is also known as Olba … [Read more...] about Old Photographs and Older Places

Scanning Strategies

February 13, 2020 by A. Cemal Ekin

While working on this project, I have … [Read more...] about Scanning Strategies

November 15, 2019 by A. Cemal Ekin

Colorful walls on a narrow street in Ayvalik. No, I did not put that E there

Although this time we stayed in Ayvalik for only four days, we managed to do and see quite a bit. Ayvalik is colorful and charming that invites exploration. We also met new people and saw new places. In this final post of the ongoing travelog, I will try to give you a feel for the town itself; visit with a family of entrepreneurs, the Kesebir's; present a renovated building as … [Read more...] about Finalizing the Ayvalik Visit

Ma’Adra Vineyard Visit

November 13, 2019 by A. Cemal Ekin

Ma'Adra Vineyards

When we visited the olive grove for the second time in the morning, we went to Ma'Adra Vineyards on the hills of Madra mountains for lunch. The road was winding and rough, the weather a bit foggy, but traveling as a two-car convoy we made it to the vineyards high up on the mountains. The brand name they took is a contraction of two immortals from the mythology. The mother god … [Read more...] about Ma’Adra Vineyard Visit
