A genuine Greek island.
This was the first time
I visited
Mykonos island to view
the island not by its
activities but by it's
natural and by its citizens'
given beauty.
Although Mykonos
of Greece is a
celebrities' resort
for holidays, filled
with a glamour that touches
anyone, when I was walking
in its narrow alleys, the
last holidays I spent there,
I found myself wondering, if
the island is only for stars
or those who try to be
some stars.
That was something that led
me to what I later wanted to
do. My object this year was
to realize what was that
exactly that made me admire
Mykonos far beyond my
imagination and much
more.
After that, I secretly
knew, what I was searching
for and what I had to do to
get it. I just had to catch
a camera and travel there to
shoot exactly what was on my
mind.
I also, somehow knew, I
should avoid capturing
people on video as
much as I could because
mostly beaches,
colors, houses,
lights and
decoration
was my target.
I have to admit that
people were always the large
pie
of what made Mykonos
island what it is now but
the purpose of my visit was
something completely
different this time.
This summer I tried to
focus and capture in videos,
why and how
Mykonos shines
and amaze voyagers.
Secondly I wanted to capture
what the human touch had
made to magnetize
so many people
for so many decades.
I secondly shot the most
popular and important
beaches.
I even captured the
trip from the very first
moment I left the homeland
with the
ship. But..let us see.
What is it that
consists
Greece in the eyes
or the heart
of a voyager?
It might be, let's say,
the sunny and warm
Mediterranean weather.
It might be, the
hospitality
perhaps.
Or is it the white
houses
and
churches
like the white stripes
on the national flag?
Or even the deep sea
or
the
sky's blue like the
blue stripes on Greece's
flag?
On the other hand I
noticed that there is an
elegant and unique
beauty on how Mykonos local
market like
shops, restaurants and
hotels are built and
decorated.
I always wanted to
capture and define those
things. All those details
combined with much sun,
blonde sand and nice dressed
people made Mykonos look
like a shiny pearl in the
sea.
