Conversation with @sotblindlamp Picture 1. “This photo is typical of my quest for simplicity. There was a lyrical quality that stroke me in this composition, graceful and harmonious, yet so simple. The approach of the theme must always be a simple and clear one. I believe any of Bach’s pieces of music would match this photo.” Picture 2. “Wandering means freedom to me. Birds are free. Their wings are a kind of ideal: so is the sky. I’d like to watch this photo listening to Zig Zag Wanderer by Captain Beefheart.” Picture 3. “In my opinion, photography brings order out of chaos. There is harmony in this chaotic plants development. Free Jazz by Ornette Coleman would be perfect for this one.” “Love, passion for live is the greatest inspiration for me. Time is also a fundamental element of photography: freezing one moment in time, photography gives me the illusion of eternity, a kind of victory against death. I live and work in Aliartos, a small town in the Boeotia regional unit (Greece), at 109 kilometers from Athens. Aliartos lies in the center of Kopais fertile plain, a drained marsh. I like to stroll all over this dystopian land, recording the moodiness and grace of its landscape and population, locals, immigrant workers or the Roma community. Even though I have traveled a lot, I can say my surroundings have a far more predominant place in my imagery. In my place, most people use digital gear and, after twenty five years of practicing analog photography, darkroom processing and printing on a quasi daily basis, so do I. Due to the economic crisis in my country, analog photography has became a very expensive occupation, I’m afraid. I never listen to music during shooting, although music plays a key role in my everyday life.” Picture 1. 📸 Nikon F 801 with a 28 mm Sigma lense.
