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 !!

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

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

We were there too

Fengaros festival in Kato Drys in the Larnaca district, for another three-day run, filled with music, on the 31st of July until the 2nd of August.

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

Children who stayed behind

The deplorable living conditions of the enclaved Cypriot’s can be demonstrated by the simple recounting of their numbers following the Turkish invasion of 1974.
In July of that year the Greek Cypriot population of the area presently occupied by the Turkish army was 162,000. By the time the second phase of the Turkish invasion had been completed, in August 1974, 142,000 Cypriots were expelled or forced to flee, leaving 20,000, mostly in the Karpas peninsula (Report S/11488 of the UNSG to the Security Council dated 4 September 1974).
During the next four months, another 5,000 were forced to leave, resulting in a reduction of the Greek Cypriot population of the occupied area by 91% (Report S/11568, 6 December 1974, para. 43).
According to the latest report of the Secretary General to the Security Council this number has diminished to 427 Greek Cypriots and 165 Maronites (S/1122, 30 November 2001, para. 8).
The situation today seems better the enclaved are almost 350 people, the students in school of Rizokarpaso are only 19
On 24 of June in the school parents, students and official guests celebrated the closing ceremony of the school year
