Lost in interpretation

My approach is that of a traveler’s, not a tourist’s. The photos are all my own, unless otherwise stated […]

Αστικοί Κήποι στο Μιλάνο

September 16, 2012 by Lisa Samloglou

(For English click here, or look under A Travel Narrative ‘Urban Gardens in Milan’) Είναι αδύνατον να επισκεφθεί κανείς το Μιλάνο χωρίς να προσέξει και να φωτογραφήσει τους κήπους της πόλης. Είναι κρυμμένοι σε αυλές φυλακισμένες πίσω από σιδερένιες πύλες, σε αίθρια πέρα από την κεντρική είσοδο κτηρίων που ανήκουν σε διαφορετικές αρχιτεκτονικές περιόδους. Μόλις σηκώσεις το κεφάλι στα μπαλκόνια και στις βεράντες, οι κήποι κρέμονται εν αναμονή θαρρείς μιας ελεύθερης πτώσης, κι άλλοτε υψώνονται σαν πύργοι, πράσινα δάση πάνω στις […]

Mad love goes to the beach / Ο τρελός έρωτας πάει στην παραλία

July 10, 2012 by Lisa Samloglou

(for the Greek text please see after the photos/ παρακαλώ αναζητήστε το Ελληνικό κείμενο μετά τις φωτογραφίες) I grew up in the city. Longer stays in the countryside were scheduled for school holidays. Sunday excursions to the outskirts of Athens informed my school compositions with the title ‘ A Sunday with my family’, a topic that throughout elementary school our teachers felt compelled to ask us to write about. The best among them were to be read out in […]
