As I promised artist Josh (and his doves) I am posting pics I took of the awesome Hagia Sophia, a 4th Century cathedral in Istanbul built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. It's amazing to actually see this, though not up close because this is like the 3rd biggest cathedral in the world. apologies though for just two pics of the icons, most of the pics i took focused on the architecture, which is more of my interest. It was a finalist in the recent seven wonders of the world vote.
So here it is, Josh, a post dedicated to your post on icons. Here's to a kindred spirit!

CC, i havent done a one-man-show, still dont have enought collection to Xhibit (in fact i think i dont have any icon of my own work! shuts). But really planning to hold one real soon! Actually, i want to hold my first Xhbit here in our building (we have an informal mini gallery here) and its for free for me (d place), hehehe! BTW, what was ur suggested place??? Shalom!:-)
nahiya naman ako na-suggest yung bar na owned by some friends. but its a nice PLU bar - butterfly bar... although i do know albert avellana of avellana gallery. i dont know if i have enough credibility to endorse an artist, though. hahaha.
HAaaaayyyyy, i finished scanning and reading thru ur entries and i ended up on ds post on me,hehehe!
hey, ngayon ko lang nabasa 2ng answe mo ah! (ngek). So were is dat avellana gallery? perhaps for my second venture, i can Xhbit der (just a dream, la pa nga yung first eh!) Sorry if i feel so dumb with terms, ngayon ko lang nabasa from ur post dat MSM is male-sex-male.... (M2M i know, esp d video industry), but what again is PLU (people w/ aids, hehehe) or people like U or us.... hehehe. I'm just really stupid or naive or dumb. soreee..
no worries, josh.
avellana gallery is along libertad st., pasay city.. nice place, kinda elitist
msm - men having sex with men (for accuracy)
plu - people like us
