The things you find when cleaning the family home / part 2.

We arrived in the UK in 1976 and my parents put my brother and I in the local school. We didn’t speak a word of English and everybody would call us French frogs even though we were Swiss…
F*ck. Just realised this shirt is 50 years old.

Good times. Maybe the best 6 months of my life.

Postcards from Greece.
Somewhere in Argolida.

I live for this light. Every year I wait 11 months for it. It brings me calm and memories of summer holidays. I never tire of it.
It is also a blanket that covers and hides what unfortunately this country has become.

Monastery of the Great Meteoron.
Meteora, Greece.

I keep having to remind myself that family holidays are usually not compatible with photography.

Such a heartbreaking photograph from the “About Humans” exhibition at the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography.

A must see in Thessaloniki: the Museum of Byzantine Culture by architect Kyriakos Krokos.
Opened in 1994 it has aged well, unlike many things in this country.
Side note: it was closed for the day due to a lack of staff.
