“The rain has stopped, the clouds have broken; the vault of blue spreads out like a fan, the blue decomposing into that ultimate violet light which makes everything Greek seem holy, natural and familiar. in Greece one has the desire to bathe in the sky. You want to rid yourself of your clothes, take a running leap and vault into …
After a couple years of absence, I’ve returned to the Cyclades Islands of Greece for a week. This time we visited the islands of Amorgos and Mykonos. In this article, I am sharing my experience photographing the former, with some brief notes about the latter.

Who doesn’t love Venice? And who doesn’t love to photograph Venice? For someone who visits Venice for the first time, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the possibilities and risk missing some of the best locations.

Folegandros might very well be my favorite Greek island, at least among the dozen or so I’ve seen so far.

After leaving Salerno on Friday morning, we started driving down the Amalfi Coast Road towards Ravello.

On one hand, it is touristy, with too many tacky restaurants and shops in the streets around the port and near the main square. On the other, it offers some impressive views of its bays and the islands nearby …

Attempt to beat the rising tide as you scramble through sea caves. Relax at any of its famous beaches. Or, my favorite – explore the intriguing history. Cyprus: History For a …
“That is my store. If you need anything, you can find it there. The restaurant at the corner is my cousin’s and did I tell you about the winery on top of the hill?
