Artist's Comments

The picture with which everything started. I shot this back in 2004 on the Titicaca lake in Peru with a Contax 139 Quartz from 1979. So i was quite proud of this first good photograph, as i didn't know anything of exposure.

These natives of today ain't full blood Uros anymore, as the last died in the sexties. The Uros of today are descendants of Uros, Aymara and Quechua natives. They continue the way of life and culture of their ancestors by living on floating islands made of totora reed, fishing and producing textiles.

Photographed with a Contax 139 Quartz, printed in a 20x30cm size and scanned. I re-edited this shot for four times already, now it's perfect :D

Contax 139 Quartz, Carl Zeiss 50mm F 1.7, Hoya UV filter.

It used to be a little paper my ex gf (5-6 years ago) put on her door when we were living and studying in Gent. I asked if i could have it when she went back to Greece, scanned it, put it in black 'n white... So that's it ;) It comes from a metal magazine too :D
