Reality leaves alot to the imagination.

About Me

-

“I’m a curious butterfly that flutters around…looking down at the earth trying to figure out the meaning of life"...................I love visiting my dad’s village high up on a mountain in Crete, being far away from the bustles of the city, surrounded by nature and animals. Eating fresh food, drinking good wine and being bounded by truly hospitable, noble,fine people that would give you their last dime if you needed it,listening to my grandma penelope tell me endless stories about her life during the wars ...........Sitting on a swing on my veranda at my home in Athens, waiving at my neighbors and admiring them enjoying the simple pleasures of the night sky,and eating their dinners with their families..................................I love to travel and immerse myself in different cultures, to paint and draw, and the process of creating, whatever it may be, listening and feeling the music, reading a good book, watching a good flick, spending a day at the MOMA, starring and never getting enough of that Manhattan skyline, viewing the sunset from Santorini’s mountainous cliffs as if I’m seeing it for the very first time….Dancing with the sunrise at Cavo Paradiso in Mykonos, drinking beers and watching soccer games with my buddies. Walking the streets of Ptown on a hot summer night looking at the bright stars, the people walking by, and the call of the foghorn,taking road trips with my bro and sis, .....................Below are a few pictures from my recent trip to Tokyo... It's the crazy world of Harajuku!!!!..

They are just too cute for words!
