Growing Up

...I can't accurately describe it with words. But I can say it feels calm. And wise. Because you've finally accustomed yourself with things you were breaking your head about. People need their time to "digest" knowledge. For some it's easier and for others it ain't. Some things are easier to digest and others are as hard as fried fish. But sooner or later you find yourself in the relaxed state of digestion. Or at least I hope so, because experience shows that some people can never digest some things. Oh well. This calm and wise phase means that you're ready to face a new step, while going on with your daily fights. Because you're never absolutely calm but a fleeting moment.

The unfriendly city named Athens

It's been a long time since I've been here. But it seems unpleasant as ever. If I could just separate some pieces of it and throw the rest away it could be lovely. But it's not the case. Growing up in a (international, but even though) village, this city gives me the creeps. Too many people, too much pretense. How the hell could I ever live here?and how the hell can people even live here? There are people that show me how I could do it. And others that push me towards leaving away this second. That's a question that will haunt my mind for a long time I think.

Nonsense pic with my new digital camera :D I am very excited

Chaos

After four years of experience, you can sense it when it's coming. Chaos.
Despair. Depression.
losing ones self.
being stuck here. not being able to get out of the hole that has been dug mostly by you.
Collective chaos. That's what usually happens.
But there's a secret.
You can get out of it whenever you want to. If you want to, of course.
By being honest and giving things their real dimension.
Getting depressed ain't hard nowadays. But you have to get over it. Otherwise you're lost, buddy.

Erase and rewind...

'cause I've been changing my mind. Lyrics are made from real life, huh?

Deep photographic shit

If I believed in those things, I'd say that someone cursed me. Cause amongst the seven pairs of roommates that I shot, five got burnt in the process and the other two were useless. I was utterly disappointed and it's the first time I could say I'm fed up with film. Got to reshoot all of them again...

But then again, there is the good part

Seems like I've got an affiction for candid wedding shots. Let's see...

Happiness (partIII)...

is like a thread and you an equilibrist. It's very difficult to walk on it but when you do it gives you utter satisfaction

Happiness looks like (part II)...

...getting abs from laughing with your friends all night over nothing serious or certain.

Happiness looks like...

...having a long shower while listening to your dad singing Kylie Minogue with his voice entangled with the nearby churches bells, smelling like shampoo and being a tiny bit hung over from yesterday's feast.

The thing I was looking for the most lately...

...was a place where I can find nice and moderately priced photography books (because I might be a geek, but photography looks so much better when printed). And I found it. It even has something that makes it even better- and I wasn't even expecting to find: greek photographers! It's actually an e-shop, http://http//photographybooks.gr/ and it has many titles, books I didn't know about and even discounts for some  I've always been yearning for (Koudelka, here I come!). So I'd advise you to take a look at it.
