Hi Ravi,
Thank you for the compliments. I know that some of my photos are better than others, but I try to show what the place is like, rather than showcase only the best.
I had a wonderful time in Rome. I was there as a video cameraman for a TV production at the Vatican, for 3 weeks. I had special access to many parts of the Vatican, and was able to be in direct contact with Pope John Paul and Mother Theresa.
Unfortunately, it was almost 20 years ago. My income is low, and I struggle to survive, so I have not traveled much outside of the US.
The photos of Turkey are also from a long time ago. I went there as part of a class of 30 students and an instructor, for an overseas study. I was in Athens, Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya, Izmir, back to Istanbul, back to Athens, 6 weeks on Crete, then the last 2 weeks in Athens again. We were studying archaeology. It was a trip that changed my life!
Happy New Year to you and your oved ones!
James
