Tuesday's night knowledge.

Oh yess ..yesterday night i learnt something (good to realise ):i have to keep distance from the the incidents and the people.Observing the people and their habits is a double earning:i keep my focus to what i am interested and i dont spend my valuable energy to unfinished discussions.Katerina's legs showed to me that from everything you can take something usefull.and i just repeat a genious greeting from Epicurus :

" Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor
weary in the search thereof when he is grown old. For no age
is too early or too late for the health of the soul. And to
say that the season for studying philosophy has not yet
come, or that it is past and gone, is like saying that the
season for happiness is not yet or that it is now no more.
Therefore, both old and young ought to seek wisdom, the
former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young
in good things because of the grace of what has been, and
the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the
same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which
are to come. So we must exercise ourselves in the things
which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have
everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are
directed toward attaining it."
Epicure"s letter to Menoecius.

Savina .a fan's note

for photographers and especially for portraitists there r always some persons wanted always to photograph.no matter of commersial value or other prejudice but just desired icons.for me were-hopefully- always a few.one was the singer Savinna Giannatou.i dont know but since i heared first time was a familiar person to me.like was case of time when i will meet her as photographer.yesterday i got the chance to meet her ,photograph and go along for a while.
results:1.realised how shy -still-i am
2.she is nice and cool and out of the normal music starsystem complexities(yeah she is a star 4 me and for some others)
3.she is also a bit shy
4.i v lost the chance to make a big pic with one of my favourite artist
5.walking back to go to metro station ,relaxed and fell nicelly.i am lucky in a way .a small dream came true not in a perfect pack but true.

Early Morning in the National Road

6.25 ,morning,driving north.weak light.a bit of cold.folowing the sun and the day to this unbelievable everyday's journey.
isnt the first time but still excited to see the change from the night to day.is my favourite moment of the day.And after.. hours work and driving still having a smile and pleasure that i vgot all of this day,all of what we mean a day of life.so close and so far from this great miracle.This morning was like my first morning ,nothing can be compared cose nothing is the same.

Diane in London

Still amazed from Diane Arbus exhibition in V&A museum.A true exhibition.B4 i go ,i thought i knew Arbus but after i realised much more and so much less.A real visualmental experience.I v felt she has been so far and so deep .That is photography.every picture was a different strong emotion.all of the photographed people are starring to the lens as they recognise a familiar person,a brother or a sister .Diane was or she still is(even dead) a chameleon.shooting a transvestite was a transvestite,shooting the"child in a nightgown" became ONE, shooting the "jewish giant with parent"was a part of the family . an accurate chameleon.

London

one more time in London. Picadilly Sq, Northern line tube, Brodies shop, and James are still there.signs of past and ofcourse signs for future. I like this eclectic mix people.tramps and bankers,models and saudis in burgas, language students till bohemians are making the most attractive crowd to muck around.Afterwards London is the place to be lost and m8 the place
to be invented.still undergoundlly chic.
