DOING IT THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

In Ierissos, on the shore of the Athos peninsula in Greece, there are small shipyards which have specialized in building and restoring Kaikias and Trehantirias, the traditional wooden boats of the fishermen. Most of them are now used for shipping tourists around but at least this old and tratitional handcraft has survived...

Before and after...

The finishing touch...

And what do we need?

Just light in the window.
And what we dream about?

That the war is over.
And where are we going?

Where the sun shines…

Since I got my first camera (a Kodak Instamatic) I am addicted to taking pictures. So it was quite obvious that I became a photographer. Beeing it now for about 30 years I am still with the great photographer Imogen Cunningham: "Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow".

”Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
