When I began collecting images for this article, my intention was to only capture people photography. Random images of both unsuspecting pedestrians and those who are cooperative participants adds personality to even the most scenic photography.
But we’re in Thessaloniki for one more day where (I already miss this place), since our arrival here four weeks ago, those of you who have been following me, know I’ve been compelled to show you all of the amazing street #art we’re surrounded by during our tour of Greece—this article is no exception. My original intention of capturing only people photography changed to capturing people photography and street art within the first couple of photos.
All but one of the following images are random shots of either people simply being themselves or murals. The more I collected pictures of the local artists paintings over the last month, the pickier I became, wanting only brand new and bright work or large, commissioned pieces. When nearly every roll-up door, public transport, abandoned building, or freshly painted over surface is covered in vibrant spray paint, it’s easy to be picky. The one you’re about to see first, however, with the sun rays shining down on the Thermaic Gulf and the cargo ships in the distance couldn’t be ignored so I used it as the cover. In the words of my virtual friend, @idig, “Injoy!” This #adventure is far from over, we’re still just getting started. Next stop—Israel!
