A gap

time

Χωρίς να το καταλάβω, ο καιρός πέρασε (όπως εύκολα γίνεται χωρίς να το σκεφτείς)
Όλον αυτόν τον καιρό,
σχεδόν ένα χρόνο από τον Ιούλιο του 17 μέχρι και σήμερα,
μπήκα σε διαδικασίες διαφορετικές από ότι ήξερα και είχα συνηθίσει να κάνω.

Στην σκέψη μου για τα πράγματα,
στην διάθεση μου απέναντι στην εικόνα,
στην στάση μου απέναντι στην ζωή,
όλα αυτά τα γιατί-κάνω-αυτό-που κάνω….

τον λόγο.

Έτσι είπα να δοκιμάσω κάτι διαφορετικό,
να δοκιμάσω άλλα σχήματα
να το πω διαφορετικά και μέσα από αισθητικά γνωρίσματα λογοτεχνικών κινημάτων
να αφήσω τη ματιά να παίξει

Lanscape lines

Without realizing it, the time passed (so easily done without thinking about it)
All this time, almost a year from July 17 until today,

I went into procedures different from what I knew and I was used to doing.
In my thoughts about things,
my attitude towards the image,
my attitude towards life,
all the things, why-I-do-what-I-do……..

Peris       the reason

So I said to try something different,

time-4 time-1 time-3 Nikos

Giorgos-1 Giannisteacher Giorgos

to try other shapes
to say it differently and through aesthetic features of literary movements
to let the look playing

The graffiti says:  my country is  my childhood

MAY 2017 in Cyprus

Without words I’ll start a small photographic presentation of every last month, as the wind through the moments and made them history – no forgotten history –

These are the selection from the snapshots I did, according mostly from accidental events, professional shots and my walks around the streets

I decided to do this every month as a small appreciation for the people and the moments were smiled to me !!

MAY 2017 in Cyprus.

Socratis Malamas concert in Cyprus

I felt like nothing changed, like the time still being the same
I had so many years to see and listen this beautiful company
and as I wrote in the video
from my heart I dedicate this to Mitso Anagnostopoulo was the best bouzouki
who left us for heaven’s concerts
and to all those beautiful years of mine back in Greece who I participated
in this amazing mood… which I miss a lot”

Thank you

9 years behind …

I have no words to express feelings or thoughts,
I could say that has not been said by experts, non-experts, from all
A minute of silence may be the best …
Sorry for those who perished,
sorry for that was destroyed,
sorry I could not more,
sorry that so many years, I forgot …

I dedicate to the family of my friend and his little five year old miracle,
who she will never know her aunt and she will not play with her four cousins

In my youth, and the times when I smiled at the beaches of Kaiafas and kato Samiko near to the pity Zacharo
In the village of my mother burned half but fortunately we did not lose someone

To my friends were I still go to visit them and their children grow up
To my others, my own people were left far away from their destroyed home after finding no support and now they are living in Germany

Only silence, apology and a promise that one day I will again make this trip,
for me, for that I lost and left behind me

And you let her go …

Every day I am surprised from this unique little human being
I am still having her in my mind, when she was so small, so fragile, a baby
She is still my baby but …
the years run and the time is not like Pinelope (wife of famous Odyssea) doesn’t waiting for you.
Nope never
so one day you are looking the mirror and the faces are different

When I heard this song I felt as if I ate cuff…..
and you let her go…… you let her flying

I have no words to express myself, to describe the pictures or my emotions and I really I don’t want to do it.
The only thing that I know is that I went to Lesvos island to cover the arrival of the refugees with suspicious thoughts about them and after just one day I started “seeing” in several boats my daughter, my wife and myself

Forgotten souls

The abandoned Asylum of incurability “New martyr Georgios” inside the city of Ioannina in Greece.
If I understood well the hospital closed on 2009 and the people lived there went to another place out of the city, the old Asylum remain closed all these years

Now the only visitors who enter illegally, jumping a small fence, are mostly photographers, thieves and drug addicts, looking to find each lost paradise

This story started from my curiosity to see this unique place from some pictures I saw and from the stories I was heard about the old Asylum from friends living and studying in Ioannina

Then it evolved into exercise of courage for myself and secondary a photography test, because I strongly believe that in every place were people had suffer the specific place still have their energy, their cry, their mood.

All the time even if I was in the middle of the day I had strange feelings…

GREECE - IOANNINA - ASYLO      GREECE - IOANNINA - ASYLO

..the things around me, seems like someone left them for a while

and the owners from moment to moment they will return and they will ask me why I disturb them, why I am there, and from whom I took the permission for this visit

GREECE - IOANNINA - ASYLO

Even now when I am writing this,  I have this disturbing feeling that someone was with me all the time and for this reason again and again I am looking carefully to find him in the reflections, hiding in the shadows, behind the windows, in the dark rooms in the pictures

I want to share the mood and the feeling of the moment, this was the reason why I edited the pictures in B/W even if I am fan of the colour pictures.
Also, I have to apologize because I found nothing to say about the asylum, nobody knows and nobody talks and in researching I did in web I found again nothing

GREECE - IOANNINA - ASYLO GREECE - IOANNINA - ASYLO  I hope the municipality of Ioannina to realise the value of this abandoned hospital, they have to protect it because it is pity this unique place to don’t be a center of culture and spirit

We were there too

Celebrating its fifth birthday, Fengaros is today considered as one of the best and most highly-anticipated events of the summer. The bar has been set even higher this year, with the ultimate goal being the festival’s establishment as an important and major international event.

The festival’s organic athmosphere is further emphasized by the village’s graphic scenery, as the aesthetic of the surroundings will become once again a source of inspiration for both the artists and the participants

and after all, she finally slept :)                   Feggaros music festival
