Zeitgeist

“It is said that what is called " zeitgeist” or “ the spirit of an age" is something to which one cannot return. 

That this spirit gradually dissipates is due to the world's coming to an end. 

For this reason, although one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of one hundred years or more ago, it cannot be done. 

Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation.”

(Tsunetomo Yamamoto) 

Solitude

“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”

( Arthur Schopenhauer)

I think humor showing nonsense situations, social contradictions, absurdities and the surreal in Photography are very important.

 What do you think or dream will come true in the future with new mobile phones.

Phone Call I

Keep your photos open-ended. Don’t spoil the story for your viewer. Add some intrigue and mystery to your photos. 

Don’t make them too obvious to decode or understand. This will make them much more engaging, interesting and memorable.

(Constantine Manos)
