starting with drink
a day out in spatharei – time flew don’t know where – the back of the camera leaked light – even though i’d fixed the foam – o well – twas fun – beautiful bright blinding sunshine
sofia said - nice colour
talking to the residents
sofia's shot of the donkey

we ended up in mili for dinner

its strange how things appear so much bigger in our memories, a couple of weeks ago i returned here with sofia and natalia and the place was almost unrecognizably tiny – i was shocked though i didn’t take a shot of the yard as above due to losing light or perhaps my amazement – i would like to go back to make a comparison shot. needless to say the building is now collapsing and overgrown with weeds. though this broken glass image i took of sofia [below] i’m sure i have a similar image of john back then when things were bigger – perhaps its just a state of mind – or the way the lens records and overlays the memory.

found this in the scans
whenever we found women, in temple or hut,
on boxes of spices, behind a barrel,
now dressed in gold and now in rags,
they cleaned the salt from our unhealed wounds.
nikos kavadias – sea study
concept - john lindus
For hours i looked at her darkened eyes
and thought i saw in their depths, stormy seas,
the islands that stud the waters of Greece
and the small ships which left with sails unfurled.

what creates good memories – a sense of infinite time – simplicity – the sound of her singing in the vineyard – then was all possibility – sometimes its beyond tears.
