Description: Photography for me is not looking it's feeling. If you can t feel what you re looking at then you re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures Don Mc Cullin Journeys Across Roman Asia Minor is driven by an eye for beauty and an ear for history. It is an album of the most recent photographs taken by Don Mc Cullin informed by a life full of hard - won experience. Working the ineffable magic of a master - craftsman he frames an ancient sanctuary known to Homer then focuses on the broken face of an exhausted emperor before turning his eye on the sensuous torso of a goddess. While most of us were sheltering from Covid Don explored the mountains valleys and coast of western Turkey hunting out the most poignant and powerful ruins of the Roman Empire. He has created a meditation on landscape the effects of light on ancient stone the way clouds animate the past but it is also inescapably about past conflict. About conquest about imperium about power. Journeys across Roman Asia Minor shows us a world still packed full of enchantment and wonder. He shows us pavements once trodden by Aristotle and Alexander the Great Caesar and Sulla St Paul and Hadrian. Through his lens we view ancient theatres cascading down the slopes of mountains two - thousand - year - old bridges still used by hill farmers and find spring water flowing into fountains still dominated by statues of the gods.
