The catalogue of the homonymous exhibition took place in the galleries of the Mount Athos Center in May of 2008.  His photographs cover an exceptionally interesting period of life on the Holy Mountain, capturing this critical era due mainly to challenges related to the decreasing (then) numbers of monks, the lack of funding and the absence of general interest by the State for the preservation of the unique architectural heritage and simultaneously the spiritual life, the unbroken continuity of prayer and liturgical worship during the everyday canon of monastic life on Athos.
