The winter city in pictures



We had and as it seems continue to have  a rough and relentless winter this year. There have been too many bitterly cold nights and days but I still find some lovely moments to capture as I snap pictures of the city during it's deep winter sleep. It is time to make another post which speaks only in pictures, since I have been taking so many more pictures in the city lately. I wanted to share some of the moments I've been lucky to capture while walking to and from work in lower Manhattan and Soho. I wish I had a better camera to fully give justice to what my eyes see, but I make due with the little iPhone. The colors, shades and horizons of the city are mesmerizing at times. There is much to see at any hour of the day but it is most intriguing in the early hours between 6-7.30am

Enjoy :)

    Φωτογραφίες ευρηματικές αποκαλυπτικές.Ο εικαστικός πτερούλης.Μη ξαναφήσεις μετάφραση στον αναλφάβητο
    Μπίνγκ . Να τίς φτιάχνεις στο απερίπου μοναχούλα σου.Τα Νεοελληνικά σου άψογα. Με συγκινείς

Diaspora Diaries Vol. 2 A look back in time.

Image
This past August, I was preparing to leave for my annual trip to Athens. It's a trip I plan, anticipate, and long for all year. Yet again as I packed my suitcases and planned my travels, I was reminded of the fact that I too, like many of my fellow Greek friends am part of a modern diaspora. " I'm not quite Greek, and not fully American." We have chosen or were forced to leave. We could have stayed, we weren't escaping war, or famine, or relentless poverty, yet we took a risk and we traveled. We left our homes, our families, our friends. We detached from the comfortable and familiar and journeyed to places that would provide a more stable future, and a different if not always a better life. We went to where the opportunities were, and in most cases with no clear vision of our future. I left because It's something I've always done, I've lived my whole life between Greece and America.    My existence has been about living in two worlds, with tw...

The Modern Diaspora a series...episode 1.

Image
Crossing the threshold into the New Year, I wanted to share more stories of some young, talented, and recently transplanted Greeks living, creating and thriving in New York. We all have a reason for being here, and we all have come from different backgrounds and situations. Some left because they had no choice,  some left to study and never went back, some left because their lives had come to a standstill in Greece, because of the financial crisis and they desperately needed a new vision.  We are here,  we've moved from our homes,  our comfort zone our familiar and our settled lives, and made new homes from the beginning. For those thinking that New York is the land of opportunity... well for some it may be for many not so much and its been a strange trip for all of us. We moved to this crazy glorious city, all of us have created a new chapter and a life here. This is our story. I will certainly start with mine soon as many don't know how I first came to New York...

Newness and Re-flections for the new year

Image
After the whirlwind of the new year I have had a lot to write about but almost no time to sit down and put to words succinct thoughts, and to share the last moments and impressions of the old year. Upon the threshold of the new year I made a pact, that I would write from the heart and that I would compose more interesting fun stories from my travels and my adventures here in New York. So much has happened so much has changed and a lot has remained the same…. 2013 was by no means easy it was a year of deep transformation, big decisions and great change. It has left me with much to think about in terms of choices, people and energy given and shared with those close and far away. In this past year, I have fought with demons and insecurities, I have dealt with devastating heart break, despair and loss, and I have gained deep, true, valuable friendships, loving moments with new friends and old, and a deeper understanding of the path that lies ahead. I have seen how it feels to allow for ...
