State of Light
State of Light is the personal lens of David C. Hill, a space for exploring the interplay of light, place, and lived experience. This site is home to my independent photography projects—observational essays that explore architecture, culture, public events, and the layered stories found in the urban landscape.

Current project: photography in Turkey
The homepage collage features work from my recent journey across Türkiye—a visual exploration of sacred spaces, daily rituals, and unexpected encounters. From Istanbul architecture photos to quiet moments inside Hagia Sophia, from bustling markets to the street cats of Istanbul, this evolving Turkey travel photo essay reflects my ongoing interest in historical photography and the emotional texture of place.
