Transfixed By A Morning At The Suleymaniye Mosque
I wandered the streets of the old town of Rhodes after a pre dawn shoot earlier that morning.
This is something Ive done many times and as usual the light was wonderful and streets empty apart from the posse of cats escorting me or curious dog.
I love it, camera I hand following my nose trying to get lost in a back street to discover some gem to capture in the golden light.
It’s a change from the pre dawn shoots were they are more planned in advance, here I’m purely in discovery / opportunity mode.
This particular morning I was walking on a familiar cobbled street in the old town and came across the Suleymaniye Mosque that Ive seen many times before.
Light is everything and I’ve learn in my 40 years of shooting that there is no such thing as bad light it just depends what suits your needs or style. It has the power to alter the familiar and reveal beauty you may not have previously noticed.
The light this morning bathed the Mosque in a beautiful etherial glow and unveiled the textured cobbles on the path gently rising towards the Mosque.
Scenes like these are impossible for me to walk past and can keep me in a state of euphoria for the remainder of the day.
Creating my art prints fuels me to return to Greece, to get a little lost and discover more moments like this, I’d say it’s my addiction.
