Jeff—Saturday
Nick Savvides and I have been friends for as long as I can
remember…which, adding up all the long nights we’ve seen sunsets turn into
sunrises, is an admittedly questionable measurement of time.
However, only over the past few years have I realized the
true breadth of Nick’s photographic talent. Yes, he does bright and sunny with
the best of them, but also possesses a particularly keen eye for the darker
side of things akin to what inspires noir mystery writing fans.
Perhaps that’s appropriate, considering all the dark news
playing out across Greece these days, but whatever his inspiration, this is my
selection of some of what I see as the noir essence of the old town Mykonos
harbor captured by Desavvi—Nick’s professional name.
What emotions do they conjure up in you?

"What emotions do they conjure up in you?"
ReplyDeleteMostly something between loneliness and wistfulness. But beautiful shots!
Or perhaps solitude? Isolation?
DeleteThank you Jeffrey Siger...you have been a true friend for, yes, years and besides the huge talent you have in writing you have the talent of understanding people and that is why you are loved everywhere you go and especially on our little island Mykonos.
ReplyDeleteThank you again...I am honored to be on your blog.
Admiration! WANDERLUST!
ReplyDeleteI was asking for a description of the photos, not you, sis:)
DeleteWrong! You asked what emotions they conjured up in the readers. I described my emotional reaction. THE DEFENSE RESTS!
DeleteI thought I used a smiley face;).
DeleteWow. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bogdan. Yes, Nick is a talented photographer and observer of the island’s changing times.
