Henri Cartier-Bresson in Athens
Well, it's simple. Some people in their field have been unsurpassed in every sense of the word.
In photography that man was undoubtedly Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Beauty around us / Zachlorou
Hidden amidst beautiful nature, is the small village of Zachlorou (or Kato Zachlorou).
It is an ideal destination for a quiet three days escape, away from distractions.
Actor Christos Malakis
Christos and I met a few years ago. We discovered that we have a lot of common acquaintances (Athens is a big town anyway).
He is one of the actors with a very long career in the theatre, who became well-known to the general public with his role in a successful TV series a few years ago.
Little trip to Peloponnese and some words for a great traveller
One of the best trips I've taken in recent years was to Arcadia.
I was again with my beloved Olga Harami. Olga is fearless, irrepressible and the perfect traveling companion for photo expeditions. I've rafted with her, walked in a forest where a bear had appeared a few days before, bumped my head on ancient stones and been at her side as driver or co-driver on endless miles of countless winding roads all over Greece.
Beauty around us / Ghent
A few years ago, we visited dear friends who live in beautiful Ghent with their cat Copper and the most beautiful little boy in the world.
Hopefully I will take photographs of this little baby and show it to you in a few years time.
A wedding in Nafplio
As you all know, I am not really fond of weddings.
Having said that, once upon a time, more than a decade ago, I accepted Katerina’s invitation to her brother’s wedding with my camera. Katerina is a very nice young woman and I was more than happy to visit Nafplio and meet these beautiful families.
Beauty around us / Missolonghi
Built on a peninsula between the homonymous lagoon and that of Kleisova, at the mouth of the Evinos and Acheloos rivers, Missolonghi is a rather indifferent modern small city.
Bittersweet Marseille
It was September 2022 when my wife and I landed in Marseille for the first time and in a strange turn of events, less than 45 days later, I came to live in this city for almost 2 months.
I had never been to France before (I had only landed once in Paris catching α plane to Cuba). More about that in another post, where I'll describe the whole... French experience.
The Loners - Marseille Panorama
Today, I just wanted to present a gigantic, detailed panorama of the city of Marseille.
I have a love-hate relationship with this city and will explain it in more detail in next week’s post, but until then you are welcome to zoom in and wander around.
Beauty around us / Aegina
When you live in Athens, one of the (many) advantages is that you can be on an island in no time.
This is exactly the case with Aegina. A beautiful island, just an hour away from the port of Piraeus.
