Ioannis E. Konstas
was born in central Greece in 1968. Although a passion for photography burst into his life already at the age of twelve, he first studied High-Energy Physics in Freiburg, Germany earning a Master's degree relating to the Big Bang Theory at CERN in Switzerland. After programming the alarm control software for the Myon particles detector at LEP (Large Electron-Positron Collider), he turned his attention back to Photons, especially those that could be stopped by the film emulsion behind his camera lens.
He is also a graduate of A.I.B.I. (the Athens branch of Sunset International Bible Institute in Lubbock, Texas) with a following Master's degree on the Hebrew Scriptures (MRS) from NU in Louisiana. His deep and dedicated interest in the writings of the Apostle Paul led him to study, explore and photograph Pauline & other related sites in the Mediterranean Lands, since 1994.

Internet presence:
With material from previous publications, recent and ongoing trips, Ioannis published in 2022 a new extended version of this geographical and photographic study blog. This blog presents all of Paul's journeys and routes through the recorded and most importantly through the unrecorded cities located along the Roman roads or ancient paths he used. Additionally, it presents a detailed Harmony Chart that contains all events of the life and journeys of Paul.
