Just recently a friend of mine came back from a trip to Athens and raved about its raw beauty, the hidden side streets so full of life and history. When looking at this series I can feel some of the stories my friend told and feel the Greek sun on my mind. “What would be Athens without its past?” asks photographer Dino. “The past is very much imprinted in all Greeks. The hills, the trees, the sand, the sun, the air, the sound and smell. Billions have walked these paths from the very start of the temple to it´s reconstruction. It’s amazing to be a part of history contrasted in such a modern world. Sometimes we stop and wonder, is it all real?”
