Portraits are fun.
Film is exceptional.
I remember exactly what transpired when this series was made.
I have a photographic itch. It pertains to photographing the people who inspire me.
Day in and day out I meet those who make up my perception of life and living.
This endless pool of personality is why I have tortured myself with the business of photography.

Here is another installment on Greece. It takes place near my father's village in Alonia. The Greek countryside is often quiet. My uncle Pete told me I had to photograph this scene because it was so beautiful. I would agree only I can't take credit for it because I wasn't its original creator. I just cocked the shutter.

One after the other, we play the staring game too. This image belongs to a collection of portraits I created for a multi-culture project funded by an artist grant I was awarded by the Cultural Arts Commission in Elgin, Illinois. The capture was made with my Mamiya on black & white film in the gym of YWCA down the block on Chicago Street.

Kalamata Series

This image is from May 2008 during one of many journeys to Kalamata, Greece where I owe part of my upbringing to. I usually bring a film camera on my trips back hoping to blend in with the slow moving pace of the region. This was shot with the Mamiya on black & white film. I am steadily scanning the images into digital format and I'll share as I complete more.
