After 9/11 , Casebere looked to Spain and the Eastern Mediterranean . His first works in this period were inspired by the 10th century Andalusia because of the co-operation between Islamic , Jewish , and Christian cultures preceding the Inquisition ( '' La Alberca '' , '' Abadia '' , '' Spanish Bath '' , '' Mahgreb '' ) . Later images depicted Tripoli , Lebanon , Nineveh and Samarra in Iraq , and Luxor , Egypt . Several of his photographs of elaborate mosques were inspired by the 16th-century Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan
