“My name is Maria and I live in Crete, Greece. Pure mathematics got me involved in photography when one day at work I realised I get to see about 9,000 new people from all over the world every month. Most of them drunk since I am the girl who delivers their cocktails. I thought I would be nice If I could have a snapshot of their best moments of the best people I meet. I did that for a while, carrying around at work a small pocket spy camera but soon I realised I wanted more.
Bought my first dslr 5 years ago and the first thing I learned was what’s a jpg. The representation of the every day world through photography showed me not only that the world changes but I change too with knowledge and experience. Since I live in Crete, early on I hated competing with all the post card frenzy I see everywhere. I like post cards as long as there’s a twist.Then I got tired competing with post cards, none can beat post cards, really!!!!!!!
I am not fond of photography rules such as “the rule of thirds” or anything that wants to be before my need to be creative and express my self. I’ve done things in photoshop that perhaps I should feel ashamed of but I am not feeling ashamed at all because now I can make my boobs look bigger. I do consider Mel Gibson one of the greatest actors alive but I wouldn’t talk over the phone with him ever. I love Pearl Jam and classic Rock and for the love of God I have to say that I love Marshall Bruce Mathers too.

“Yeah, hey, hey
When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it
If somethings cold, I wanna put a little fire on it
If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
If somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When somethings broke, I wanna put a little of fixin on it
If somethings bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
When somethings low, I wanna put a little high on it
If somethings lost, I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If there’s no love, I wanna try to love again
I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I’ll find us a way to make light
I’ll dig your grave, we’ll dance and sing
What’s saved could be one last lifetime
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah”
Rock on Maria…rock on…
Hi Maria….Welcome and you have shown us some very interesting and wonderful images. I do not pay attention to things like the “the rule of thirds” either. I certainly hope we shall see more in the future.
