One evening..

Posted on March 17, 2015 by Iakovos Hatzistavrou

One evening before two weeks, I found myself walking in Pallouriotissa neighborhood,

I had a strange mood and a great need just to walk and make photos without a concept, just photos to clear my mind which has stuck

Always I loved this kind of neighborhoods the people are curious and knows the meaning of hospitality,

I found two teenagers playing there, in an abandoned square.

I was very suprised when I realized their game

One of them (Dani Amourri) filming his partner with an handmade tool for his mobile.

I asked from my new friend to send me what he got from his shootings with his mobile phone

so after when I had time I made this Video

The video I was made for them, for their inspiration,

(sorry if the result is not professionally under the international standards :-)

Maybe this will be a good inspiration for you, because for me it was

Till I arrived to my home, I continued the “shootings”

The night came and unfortunately I didn’t have more time

I had to stop

Next time I’ll stay longer, a new chapter opened for me

A very good chapter

The Other Human / O Allos Anthropos

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Iakovos Hatzistavrou

One of the most impressive things that make you believe again in humans,

to believe that together we can do it, is “the other human”.

(In Greek: “Ï ¢ëëïò ¢íèñùðïò”/ “O Allos Anthropos”)

In Greece, the last few years, hope is more and more lost, the smile is harder to find and

what you face is more and more stooped shoulders.

The other human

A few years ago (during the economic crisis) an idea was born by Kostas Polychronopoulos

Kostas Polichronopoulos

to bring people together to communicate again with focus on one basic need: food.

The other human

He thought to go out on the streets with a pot and cook for everyone:

black and white, homeless and sheltered.

Not by charity, anyone who is hungry can eat.

The other human

So the simple things (because life is found in simplicity, as ancient Greeks said:

“Wisdom is shown in clarity”,

became routine and it grew stronger and it became something stable.

The other human

You can visit the blog where you can find the program and find out where is the next appointment and if you want and you can go and help “The other human” with whatever you can, a package of pasta, rice etc.

The other human

Without the help and support of political parties, NGOs, the church, charities, Kostas, who does not want “hats”(someone over him), managed to make the world talk about “the other human” and

“The other human” became an institution and created anticipation for the hungry for the next appointment.
