It took me almost three months to develop and scan the films, but I finally did it (damn work!)!

So there you have the photos from Santa Run in my home town!

C-u people!!

Hello everyone! And of course merry Christmas and all the wishes!

I am trying to organize my work here in dA lately. Now I found the time to group and upload a few new works.

The title of the project is "Double Exposures". People blending with their creations. I photographed a few friends in open environment (not studio) and then I rewinded the film and I photographed scenes around technical structures and buildings in the same frames. So the end result is a series of double exposures combining a portrait of some kind with a structure/industrial setting, interposing the man blended with his creations. Film used Kodachrome 64 slide.

Hope you like it. Here is the folder: [link]

C-u around!

Lately I have bee playing a lot with a lomo fisheye camera. Quite funny and quite different.

So let me present you a small project that is still (and probably always be) a work in progress.

Have a nice day!

Hi everybody!

As much as I want to be around here, it seems that real life is getting (at last) overwhelming!! I just need each day to have 30 hours instead of 24! So that I can sleep a little bit more!!

So after camping in the National Park of Samaria Gorge ( [link] ), after the amazing "Moon on the Wheel" (Φεγγάρι στη Ρόδα - [link] ) that had us running like crazy with bicycles around my town, we had to prepare and set up a photography festival in Chania ( [link] ) that ended just a few days ago! During the festival I had a couple of photos in the exhibition and a presentation of a slideshow from my (photography) work from India!

Now I am working like crazy to meet a few deadlines at work, because tomorrow I'm leaving for a trip to Barcelona!

At least I hope that in the end of this, I'll have photos to share with you when I get back!

Cu soon!!
Andreas


ps. for Europeans... dont believe whatever propaganda you hear on the news. I can assure you that tomatoes are still growing, flies are flying and the sea still has salt water no matter the euro situation.

This is the night that democracy in Greece has faded. Along with hope.

Spaniards, Italians, Irish, Portuguese, this is for you. Give a hell of a fight and stand prouder than what we managed.

I'm sorry I didn't do anything more. You still have a chance. Now you know what is coming.  


Goodbye,
Andreas

Andreas

Hello everyone,

I just realized that I turned 6 here in dA and it so happened that I passed the 60k pageviews...

Maybe I'm not so active, at least as active as I had been in previous years, maybe I could say a bitter thing or two about dA.

But in the end, what remains is good. Memorable. And I feel obliged to what dA has offered me through the years.

dA has motivated me, has helped me to learn a lot of things concerning photography in a much faster and friendlier way that it would have otherwise been. I found some incredible people in here. People that are not just "virtual" or "online" friends. They are very very real ones, that I keep on spending a lot of my actual time with.

I feel I "matured" a lot in dA. Maybe this is a reason that I view it as a little bit inadequate these days, however I'll always respect it. There are people with real talent here. And even if I feel that I need something different or more, there are always moments of inspiration and glimpses of greatness around here.

To make a long story short, many thanx to dA for those 6 years and many more to the people that I met or "met" through this community.

Keep on rockin',
Andreas

Just a post to make a presence. I'm here, not really active, but watching out. I'm trying to sort and rebuilt my life at the moment, I hope I'll be able to post some work again sooner than later. Keep an eye on the blog, it's easier to post there as I feel I have to be more selective on what I upload on dA.

Hope you are all doing well,
Andreas

at The Athens House of Photography, 3 - 7 November 2011. More information here: [link]

So if I go out and punch a member of the parliament, it is called an attack on democracy.

If the same member of the parliament asks the police:
to hit me till I end up in a coma in the hospital
to spread me with forbidden chemicals and gases till I faint
to drag me to court with fake charges
to put fire on the medical tent that a doctor treats me

it is called:
keeping the order
putting a minority to rest
fight for the good of the country
protect the innocent

and above all

it is called protection of democracy.


O tempora o mores!

Live your myth in Greece,
Andreas

A new camera system will be introduced that you'll be able to focus after you have taken the photo... link to blog.

I wonder when the photographer will become obsolete....

Cheers to everyone!
Andreas

For anyone living or planing to visit Chania, I'm participating in a group photo exhibition that starts tomorrow. The theme is "Public Spaces" and I'll have a set of 4 photos.

The exhibition is held at the Neorio of Moro and the opening is tomorrow at 21.00. So... I'll see you there or wish me luck!

Adios,
Andreas

Lately I have been scanning my collection of Kodachrome slides. For some inexplicable reason there seems to be some magic surrounding film... while using worse equipment, in the end I manage to capture more interesting photos in film than I have ever managed to capture with a digital camera. I hope I can adapt at some point.

The other interesting thing is that this time I have decided to pay proper respect to my films and scan selected images at a professional service. Nice to see 6000 dpi professional scans from your slides... approximately 43Mpixel files (something in the order of 100+ MB tiffs). Let's see maybe there is a chance to make some nice large prints in the near future (would anyone of you care for one? ).

Adios,
Andreas
