that story about Dimitris





This is Dimitris.
He is a fisherman and local artist in Kokkari, Samos.
I first saw him octopus fishing and I thought he came straight out of the book of E.Hemingway...and I knew I had to have a picture of him. But this wasn't easy. Because Dimitris doesn't want any pictures. So I first tried some snapshots of him fishing. I didn't have the right lens for that..



...and then I met him one morning on his way to the bakery and snap-shot him from the back. I thought he wouldn't like a paparazzo kind of shooting at 7am. Another stolen picture of Dimitris..








At the end, I walked in his atelier and finally convinced him to take some pictures.
Thank you Dimitris!
