a day out – round the island for natalia’s birthday

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

don’t see so many working donkeys around these days

we ended up in mili for dinner

scale and memory

ormos 1999

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.

sea study

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.

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.

endless dusk

the light goes on forever

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.
