Interior of the Pantheon in Paris, France. This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera. The Panthéon (Latin Pantheon, from Greek Pantheon, meaning “All the Gods”) is a building in the Latin Quarter in Paris, France. It was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, but after many changes now combines liturgical functions with its role as a famous burial place. It is an early example of Neoclassicism, with a façade modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, surmounted by a small dome that owes some of its character to Bramante’s “Tempietto”. Located in the 5th arrondissement on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, the Panthéon looks out over all of Paris. Its architect, Jacques-Germain Soufflot, had the intention of combining the lightness and brightness of the gothic cathedral with classical principles. Soufflot died before his work was achieved, and his plans were not entirely followed. The transparency he had planned for his masterpiece was not attained. Nevertheless, it is one of the most important architectural achievements of its time and the first great neoclassical monument.

One of the first street shots I ever took back in 1964 in the East End of London. This was before Playstations, and probably the only ‘toy’ these kids shared between them was a skipping rope. Old bomb sites still held a fascination though as a form of amusement and exploration, as can be seen here. It was taken using a Yashica Mat 120 film twin lens reflex camera that took me six months to save up for. I used Tri-X B/W film and printed on a hard grade of paper to get the punchy contrast, a characteristic of all my early B/W work. This image was photographed digitally from the original print in my portfolio. © 1964 John Hooton Photography

This is another of my distant shots from the AFL calendar I used to do. These guys really did an amazing job in looking so natural in front of the camera. Posing for modelling shots was definitely out of their comfort zone. I am really passionate about running workshops pertaining to images such as these. I have set up a group to promote and feature these workshops. / Empowered Beauty / Also please visit my personal website www.leapoffaith.com.au

The Kasimiye Medrese in Mardin (Southeastern Anatolia, Turkey) was built in the late 14th century during end of Artuklu (Artuqid) period in this region. Maybe the Medrese was completed during the reign of turkoman Akkoyunlu in the mid of 15th century. It is named after Kasim Pasha, the son of the Akkoyunlu Cihangir Bey (r.1444-1453). Kasimiye Medrese was an important place for studies of physics, chemistry, medical science, astronomy and islamic theology. © Photo and text by Jens Helmstedt Challenge ‘History 101’ Winner in First Things Featured in History Featured in Image Writing The Spirit of Southeastern Anatolia – / 2010 Calendar

Rizvaniye Mosque and Halil-Ur Rahman Gölü, the Pond of Ibrahim in Şanlıurfa, Southeastern Anatolia. An important religious place for Muslim pilgrims from Turkey and other islamic countries is the Pond of Ibrahim (Abraham) in Urfa with holy carp, a complex of different mosques, the Mausoleum of Job and the cave, where the prophet Ibrahim was born. According to Islamic belief the King Nimrod wants to burn Ibrahim on a pyre, because he didn´t accept the old belief to different gods. In the Holy Koran is written: “They said: Burn him and protect your gods, if you are going to do anything.” (21:68) and “We said: Oh fire, be cold and peace (safe) for Ibrahim.” (21:69) Since many hundreds of years people in Urfa and muslim pilgrims from others regions and countries believe, that Allah changed the fire into water and the burning firewood into fish (carp), so Ibrahim was saved. Şanlıurfa, usually known as “Urfa” is the ancient city Edessa and located in Southeastern Anatolia, Turkey. The population in Urfa is mainly Kurdish, even Arabs and Turks live in the region. Most of them are Muslim, but also followers of other religions can be found like Jewish, Armenian, Zaza and Yezids. The region of Urfa has a very old history, archaeologists found various cult places from neolithic ages. © Photo and text by Jens Helmstedt / Profile . Photos . Writing . Calendars .

Mount Nemrud is a 2206 m (7237 ft.) high mountain, located in the Adiyaman Province in Southeastern Anatolia, Turkey, which is only accessible during the summer months, while the rest of the year the mountain is covered by ice and snow. It is an impressive moment, when the sunrise begins on Mount Nemrud, when slowly spreads the first light across the fascinating landscape of mountains, then shining to the eastern terrace of the tomb sanctuary and the original stone heads of King Antiochos, Zeus and other gods figures from the Kommagene time in the 1st century BC. It is amazing to be at this magical place, where 2000 years ago the people of Kommagene paid homage to their gods with cult celebrations at a fire altar. Under the reign of King Antiochos I. Theos of Kommagene (86-38 BC) a tomb sanctuary with huge statues (8-9 m, 26-29 ft) was built on top of the mountain. Once seated, now the heads of the king (he called himself also Theos = God) and various Greek and Persian gods are standing more down. King Antiochos, who was many times successful in the war against the Romans, wanted, that the sanctuary is the centre of his new religion. Because of a mixed population in his country, he united the beliefs of the Persian Parthian with the Greek and Roman world. He thought, that from the top of Mount Nemrud his new religion would radiate all over the world. The Holy Law of Antiochos is written behind the statue of Zeus: Whoever in the course of time takes over this reign as king / or leader, may he, if he respects this law and our honor, / enjoy through my intercession / the grace of all deified ancestors and the gods … / (King Antiochos 50 BC) To built the 3 terraces (eastern, western and northern) and the burial mound (Tumulus), the builders removed almost the whole mountains top and filled it up with small sharp stones. To build the 50 metres high Tumulus with a diameter of 150 metres must have been an enormous undertaking. / The last priest of Kommagene probably left the tomb sanctuary in the year 72 AD, after the rebelling King Antiochos IV had lost the war against the Roman Empire. For almost 2000 years the tomb sanctuary, where 3 kings of Kommagene are buried, became a forgotton place. The christian population, which lived later in this region, knew nothing about the origins of the sanctuary and they thought, that it was connected with the legendary Nimrod from the Old Testament (see Urfa). Therefore they called the mountain: Nemrud. The sanctuary was dicovered in 1881 by the German railway engineer Karl Sester. After his discovery, the Turkish Ottoman archeologist Hamdi Bey began the first excavations on the mountain. But until today all excavations have failed to reveal the tomb of Antiochos. In 1987 Mount Nemrud became a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. / © Photo and text by Jens Helmstedt / Profile . Photos . Writing . Calendars .

The underground city Kaymaklı is one of several underground cities in Cappadocia and was discovered in 1964. Between the 6th and 9th century many thousand of christian people lived in the 11 floors deep city under the earth. Traces of first settlement in Cappadocia can be dated back to 6500 BC. In the late Bronze Age named “Hatti”, after 1600 BC was the region part of the Hittite Empire. In the following time Cappadocia was under the reign of different kingdoms, e.g. Lydians, Persians and Alexander the Great until the region became in the year 18 AD part of the Roman Empire. Many early Christians built several underground cities in the volcanic tuff stone, used as hiding places before Christianity became an accepted religion. Because Cappadocia was located at the famous Silk Road, even in Byzantine Era and after 11th century under the Seljuks and other Turkish Clans, the region was destabilised by many conflicts and invasions. Some inhabitants converted to Islam, but until end of Ottoman Empire in the 1920 years, still many Christian Orthodox Greeks lived in Cappadocia.

Notre Dame, Paris, capital of France. Another shot in my Notre Dame series. The original photo has been in my folio since I started on RedBubble, but was never that popular, so I gave it a make over! Original photo has been layered twice, with two separate textures layered over as well, with colour adjustments, slight tweaking of brightness and lowering of contrast.
