He has been taking photographs for over 25 years, traveling to over 40 countries and documenting what has become the overriding theme in his photography -- man’s intrinsic need for leaving a mark and the different paths to achieving it. His column, “Orestes’ LIC”, will concentrate on showing snippets of life around the areas we live in. A local record keeper, if you will.

The snow on the ground and the black fi gure made a nice contrast. Now I hear they sold this building for a huge amount of money and it will be turned into a residential building. The landscape of LIC continues to change and evolve over time.”
