Athens 2023: Shopfronts

The Flea Market area of Monastiraki is a wonderful place for complicated still-lifes of unnumerable random objects.

 

Athens 2023: Chairs series

First post-Covid posting. We just returned from three weeks in Greece. Started out with several nights at Pame House in the bustling Psirri district of Athens, adjacent to the equally bustling Monastiraki Square.

Walked my socks off there. Well, no socks actually, I wore sandals. Anyway I was taken with the array of un-sat-upon chairs I kept running across.

 

Athens Scenes (2005)

2005 was a busy summer. Before heading to England for three weeks I accompanied my 6th-grade son on a trip to Italy and Greece with his class and some high-schoolers. As is my wont I typically took off on my own and hunted photo subjects. Athens in particular is spectacular even without the mind-blowing antiquities and architecture.
