They must be
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

Same spot
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

The best I can do
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.

Until it doesn't
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 Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race
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,

Better late than ever.
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.

To rain or not to rain
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

Satisfaction
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

Happy new month / December 2025
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

Leaving traces
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

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

Half of the thrill
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

Brave new world
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
