medieval settlement
Part of a mountain settlement where the community were able to hide from pirates. It lies several hundred meters above the present-day village of Chrysostomo, near which Icarus was reputed to have fallen at the end of his ill-fated flight. The view from the village is identical to that of the well-known painting of Icarus' fall by Pieter Brueghel.

Valia Kalda
sunset over the 'warm valley' or 'valia kalda' in the local vlach lingo. one of Greece's most beautiful areas and one of two habitats in the country for the brown bear - the last bears living in the wild in Europe. the other brown bear habitat is shared with Bulgaria.
Grevena, northern Greece

the first images - usually wasted simply to forward a roll of film - can hold pleasant surprises, such as this surreal ceiling shot

sunset on the beach of Eggares - 4
believe it or not, there is zero digital manipulation for this set, aside from some dust removal. it was shot with the camera on a bag and some clothes on the roof of the car. any discoloration is from the aging of the emulsion.
The Minotaur
the film is about a group of patients in a psychiatric hospital raising a play about the Minotaur of Crete.
from the making of The Minotaur Came To Leros
a truly underground film. this is the basement of the ruins of the old Fix brewery in Patissia.

Allen Ginsberg in Athens - 3
Came home from work and was fixing to have a quiet read of the newpaper when my eye caught the announcement of an engagement that evening: Allen Ginsberg was in town and about to give a poetry recital at the invitation of a local literary magazine. I almost fell off my seat. Rushed over as fast as I could. It was worth it, although Ginsberg demolished one of my cherished myths (he said 'Howl' was not a revolutionary poem - only a poem describing life in a pyschiatric ward) and failed to satisfactorily settle that nagging question about whether Bill Burroughs was or was not an inheritor of the Burroughs adding machine fortune.
Allen expressed surprise at the fact that the theater was full and people were asked to go to the balconies.
