Two Sides of Athens

I took this shot a couple of months ago in down town Athens. The apparent difference between the two characters is striking, with the lady holding her drink while the beggar holds a sign saying "Please, I am hungry". I am not judgmental of either person, by the way, but it saddens me to see beggars on the street, because they are most probably exploited by someone. Don't enjoy, please.

Abandoned and Derelict Athens

A few photos from down town Athens, where some buildings remind me of ghost towns... even though the city is very vibrant below them.

Enjoy!

A small collection of London photos

Here are three photos I shot some time ago. Enjoy!

Reflections


The real side of the advertisement


I never saw her face... Just let your imagination go wild!

Photoshop play

I was playing around with a street photo, and here is the result... The background is the Bank of England.

London under a heat wave

I was in London last month, and shot some photographs on a Velvia 50 film. Here are the results:

Looking for shade, I came across this weird shape

I found a beautiful lady sunbathing behind a street piano

And shared the exhaustion of Londoners under the sun

A walk through Athens

Street photography has a special place in my heart. I like walking around the city and snapping any kind of image that stimulates my mind. Here are a few examples, from a Fujifilm Velvia 50, which gives very saturated and vibrant colours.

A coffee glass on the table, after a long talk and some profound thoughts

The sad sight of buskers on the streets

Scanned Film - Urban Scenes

I scanned another Kodak Tri-X 400 film a couple of weeks ago. Here are three shots from around Athens, a bit of undercover photography.
Enjoy!

Scanned Film

I scanned a Fuji Velvia 50 Slide film and a Kodak Tri-X 400 black and white film last week. Quite a revelation, especially for the latter, as it is my first ever B&W film...
I shot the slides on my Nikon F60, which has matrix metering and hence gives much better results light-wise. I shot the B&W on my Yashica GSN, which meters from the centre of the image and hence I got some over- and under-exposures... but I am still very happy with the results.
Enjoy and let me know what you think! ( If you leave your mouse over a photo, you should see the title ).
