Martin Gray has come a long way from mountain hermit to photographer. For ten years he
lived in a monastery in India, dedicating his life to meditation. Now, he is an anthropologist and photographer
specializing in the study of sacred sites and pilgrimage traditions around the world.
From Macchu Pichu in Peru to the Monastery of Rousanou, Meteora, Greece, his Web site
sacredsites.com features photos and stories from twenty years
of visiting and photographing over 1000 sacred sites in eighty countries. It’s quite a feat, well-organized and
nicely done. At the very least it’s a great way to experience some of the world’s more alluring places and people
without leaving your chair.
