GAZA city







there is no more claustrophobic view from high than Gaza.A city like a cage full of madness and hopelessnes.even during ceasefire people talk for the shootings the bombs and the attacs who are coming soon.the women the kids the men are toxicated from stress and hate.they dont laugh just they smile wisely like they know deeply that there isnt future ,like the life they live is just a phase of waiting and they look forward already for after...

RAMALLAH LIGHT



from the time i v approached Ramallah ,i realised is a special place.special people,special light and special nights.the empty dusty roads and the massive hills from ruins makes you to think about if people are living here or if is an industrial place .and definitelly is an industry of terror and hate.is a terrain where arms and fanatism also power and poorness are the guest stars.what to say more than the thing seems is no way out situation.What stays to me as a foreigner is a weak light of an evening and a dry like desert scenery.But the people...is another thing!Smiley and melancolic,angry and always singing ,violent and same time mild .despite the clishes is a place of contradictions with cause!

uncle billy ist tot

no good news in a way .one of my lovable relatives uncle Billy-Vasilis passed away .not young .was the man with the stylish provencial dress and an elegant hat.i remember him walking slow with this tall thin figure and a lookalike Adolph Hitller
moustache and an always sarcastic smile .as a child i remember the butter candies he was offering and the tender head caress was giving .he was a man from other era. *distant and bright,always smiling and not at all talkative,from a village of kalamata but always well dressed in grey suit or black woolish gabardine and always with different hat*
even as a dead corp was stylish.a man from other era.
even the last days wanted to take part to future local events and was expecting the next spring to come.a man with schedule...
with the death of uncle billy an era is close to the end.the era of my children's heroes.this era has just a few more guests and a lot of memories then.indeed its bitter but a reality.
good luck uncle Billy
