What does it take to make a bunch of new pictures? I had light coming in from the window. I had a camera charged and ready, with a macro lens attached. I had an itchy feeling on the tip of my finger, the

I looked at the Palamidi fortress from my window and without thinking too much about it, I decided to go. It had been a while since my last visit. In my previous post, more than a month ago, I started

I needed a dose of nature and an unobstructed view, so I went to the closest place that could offer both. The stairs leading up to the castle were just a few hundred meters away, and I climbed them eagerly.

I am here, for one more year, looking at your picture on the wall. The one I took of you in May 2002 when you were just a clumsy puppy. I notice a few spots of dirt on the frame. Your head is slightly

The other day, I read a book written by a university professor about human evolution, focusing on the transition from Paleolithic hunters and gatherers to Neolithic farmers and stockbreeders. I was struck

Although I don’t really have any reason to believe that the future of humanity will be any better than the present or the past, I will still give you my wishes for a happy new year. One that is more peaceful,

I always knew that this tree was there but this time I saw it differently. I had never noticed how almost human it looked. It was probably the light that transformed it, giving its branches an otherworldly

Today it was a good day. I spent the morning wandering around the village and I felt genuinely happy to see how much the recent rains have changed the landscape. Since the summer the land had looked parched.

I had taken care of the day’s tasks in the city and sat on a bench to think what should I do next. I still had a couple of hours before dark and I hadn't been to Heraklion since June. Since I was alone

Whenever I visit Heraklion I usually go for a short walk at the port too. The old port that is, which sits right next to the new one but it is way more beautiful! Apart from the obvious pleasure of walking

I woke up in my grandmother's house and a quick glimpse out of the window convinced me to grab my camera and go to the garden. The colours and the light were just too good to ignore! I've been on the road

New York City has been in the news lately, with the new mayor drawing quite a bit of attention. From what I’ve read, he seems to be rather different from those before him. I live on the other side of the

“and let thy feet, millenniums hence, be set in midst of knowledge.” I read this phrase the moment I stepped into the Great Court of the British Museum. The words, engraved on the marble floor, caught

Happy November to everybody from the gloomy and occasionally drizzling Nafplio! Yesterday was candle-burning test day in our workshop, and by the evening I had many shapes of melted wax and little flames

The first trip of 2025, about nine months ago, gave me the rare opportunity to be close to snow covered mountains and a lake hidden in thick fog. Now, as we are about to enter the last month of autumn,

I used to be a travel photographer. The magazine I was working for sent me to many destinations all over Greece during the three years I was there. It’s a job I left long ago, but I still remember it from

Why macro? For many reasons. It is unexpected, it is impressive, but most of all, it is quiet. For me, getting lost in the world of macro photography is like diving into the sea. Surrounded by the absence

I had a lovely experience last week. A couple of friends run a creative space where they teach art to students of all ages, from kids, to teenagers and adults. They asked me to take a few photos during

I’ve been saying for years that one day I would print a few postcards with my own photos. I even asked your opinion and your help to choose pictures for them, a couple of times. But it was one of those

Last night, I dreamt of the house where I grew up. A small home with a big yard on the outskirts of a city that has since expanded far beyond what I once knew. That house no longer exists, in its place
