Photographer’s Note
i love photographing abstract compositions which include colour and graphical forms. This picture is a detail of an old building somewhere in Plaka (in the centre of Athens). There are many buildings in athens which are abandoned and almost ready to collapse. even though i find photographic interest in them i feel sorry about its present situation...i really hope to be restored someday so as our city become prettier...
i love also yellow the colour of the sun, the moon, the stars...coldplay wrote a song called "yellow" here is a part of their lyrics...have a nice day!
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow...

Hi Georgia,
If eyes are the windows to the soul...what this look tells us? A careful soul for details...
Decay, that is life?
A colourful view over it?
I'm always fascinated to see things...abandon...and a person behind the camera giving them a soul. Maybe for a moment with its presence...But with photopraphy for eternity.
Or maybe you just like yellow... :)))
My best,
Jeri

Hi Georgia
That's an eye catching capture for sure! I love the contrast between the side in bright colors, that seems freshly painted, and the destroyed dark other part. It reminds me some impressive pictures of the abandonned city of Detroit, in the USA, that I've discovered through Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre pictures. Great eye!

Geia sou Georgia.
Mou aressi para para poli avtin tin fotografisi! I like the rust which mixs in the yellow, the fantastic blue universe which I discover behind windows full of dust... I imagine the lives which took place here...
A magnificent photo. It gives envy to return to Athens to spend days to look for places as this one
Evkaristo!

Good composition. Geometric, abstract and yet is emitting an energy...meaning is capturing although minimal...

Kalimera Georgia,
Fantastic yellow colored old, rusty texture and very cleverly balanced capture while half part filled with yellow and next divided for small glasses. It's dirty, old, messy inside, broken glasses are wonderful. Congratulations. Ευθυμίες.
Χαιρετισμούς,
Ertugrul
