myrtos

This account was opened exclusively to host my photos from my village of birth, Myrtos , on the south coast of Crete. It is the place where I first saw the light, where I had my first cry and my first laughter; the place where I took my first steps….. the place, that no matter where I go, I always carry in my heart of hearts.

I have not lived in Myrtos full time since I was 19, but I have returned often, and taking the pictures of the houses, the landscapes and the people has been a special pleasure. Whether morning or evening, clear or stormy, the stones, water and sky fascinate me. And just as fascinating, are the faces, especially those that have seen so much of life.

Each and every single image in this collection was taken and post-worked by me. Some of the photos here are posted on my personal DeviantArt account as well.

I hope you enjoy the photos!
