The Travel Photographer

I'm often-times not sure which post or person to write of after visiting The Travel Photographer's blog and today is no exception.

Tewfic wrote that the British Library has focused on the Books of the Three Faiths for an exhibition titled Sacred, on at the British Library. The exhibition covers not only the diversity of faiths in Britain but also illustrates how much the main faiths have in common. We need to be constantly reminded how alike these monotheist faiths are, and how they all sprang from the same small area with the same customs, values and theology. As far as I'm concerned it succeeded, and reaffirmed my long-held belief that all religions are one and the same.

One of the most fascinating exhibits is an ancient Gospel written in Arabic whose opening verse reads "In the name of Allah...". Incredible but true. I wonder how our reactionary religious fundamentalists can spin this?


But that's not all ... Tewfic also has an interesting post on Flickr titled POV: No More Stock Photographs?

And finally there's the post about Ahmet Ertug , a truly talented Turkish photographer. You can visit Ahmet's work here.
