The Provincial by Antonis Giakoumakis
What to write about the countryside and even its own countryside, since emotions are often contradictory within it. Conflicting emotions. Good memories and sad memories.

Η βουβή βροχή έχει μια καλοσύνη, μας φέρνει πιο κοντά.
Εκεί, πέρα από την θάλασσα στην απεραντοσύνη…. του ονείρου, να βρεθούμε.

Excerpt from his photo book The Provincial
.....What to write about the Province and even more for my own Province, since emotions are often contradictory within me.

WOMEN'S GLANCES: Photography and words by Antonis Giakoumakis
....“Women's looks, glances.
From open windows, from half-open doors, there on the street. Observers of life.
Faces gloomy, exploratory, indifferent, puzzled.
Women's looks tired but also smiling. .....
Silence: by ANTONIS GIAKOUMAKIS - SILENCE

Promise of Meeting: Part of a pair from the series "PROMISE OF MEETING" by ANTONIS GIAKOUMAKIS
And yes, the curtain opens. The woman like a fairy and the Pegasus.
In an expressive dance.
Two fleeting figures in parallel routes.
Lonely presences which are inclining to meet.
Freedom… in a confined space............
