School parade in Greece, a crisis break

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Greece | Sunday, January 6, 2013 | 5 photos

I live in Thessaloniki–Greece and work as a graphic designer. I like traveling and I have visited many places all over the world.
My contact with the Photography began in‘89 as a hobby and because a friend of mine - a photographer - was a strong influence to me. Ever since, I keep taking pictures and the reason is totally personal. It just makes me feel nice. I really like the street photos. I always try to take pictures of what I feel and not of what I see. I do also believe that the most beautiful models are the people and the life that surround us.
The first time that I bought a NG issue I was captured by the photos but mostly by the unique chance that the photographers have because they experience thrilling situations in places around the world and then their pictures are the navigator which leads the readers to be part of these experiences. With these people I learned about new and different civilizations that I didn’t believe that they exist. And this is exactly the reason for which I would like to win the competition. I will be able to learn how to talk and express my feelings through the photos. And let’s don’t forget that learning from the experts is the best we can do.
