Very late comment to say that, like all the others here, I really enjoyed your work…. I have an 8 years old son and 6 years old daughter who are both starting to take pictures as they keep seeing Dad taking pictures…. I showed them your essay this week-end and then they went on the whole of Sunday shooting…. You have inspired the whole family :):)… Keep nurturing the relationship you have with this crazy Panos!!!!! He is mad but we all like him and he has at least done one good thing :):) if he somehow has inspired you to get yourself hooked on to photohgraphy…. Well done Vissaria and hope to see many more essays from you in the years to come!

Eric

I think that is so for many of us here who look at the pictures, yours and those of the others. They talk. They might say different things to each one of us. The important thing is to keep on listening.. sometimes, when growing up, we become deaf and blind. Sometimes it is because we must think about too many things. That is also a reason why many grown-ups stop smiling and laughing. They forget.

I very much like the song you have chosen to accompany your pictures. I do not understand what it says, I know your uncle P has translated the words for us who don’t speak Greek.. but it is like with the photographs to me, I want to imagine MY story, so I don’t read the translation..

Un abbraccio, Eva

—————————
This is the story of our photographic passion (any passion), Vissaria, all of us amateurs, and you will find out that even in circumstances where many who seem to share in that passion are together and meet in one place, one city (one internet site too), we often feel alone, not quite understood (David points exactly at that that he sees one single mentor/person the best that can happen to one emerging photographer, rather than too many barging in).

BUT!: this loneliness, welcome it, as in response to it, this is why we and you will take pictures, look at them, write books, read them, make music, listen to it, as if the next picture, the next page, the next melody, etc… will make us more of who we really are….

So, the minute you start wanting to be merely a joiner, fear the solitude, that’s when you abdicate that throne, that Kingdom (that was only destined to you and no one else), take a chair in a row of millions other chairs and becomes…. an adult.

I have many questions.I want to know why the kid on my photo who is asking for money did not come in the classroom today?
Why people hide the empty bottle in the hole of the wall when there is a trash can near.Whu they push me when I wait for my turn and nobody says I am sorry.

I like to photograpg stuff because they talk to me.All the stuff are talking .The old boat is talking to me.The fake dack is talking.

I like good stories too.When I am in Los Angeles I see many good stories.Here in Greece,I like my school,I have many many friends but no good stories.People here are not happy.They are all very good people but they do not smile too much.

I am so happy that I have two countries.I am comfused because they are so diferent.I like to travel.My mom says I am the best traveler and I am sure I will travel around the world.
so,I will meet you for sure.

Now,time to help mom .i will find a happy story.I have so many stuff to learn.

I like the carnival picture.Is this a happy story?
they don not look that happy.

Sincerely
Vissaria

thank you again. In my school we try to help the people of Japan.I tell to my friends what to do when there is an eartquake because I learnt many things from my Los Angeles teachers.This earthquake was the big one.

I like the pictures here.You are all so good.

Mr.David Alan Harvey thank you for the oportunity and thank you for taking time to respond .Here people are busy and they do not have time to talk about my pictures.
Uncle P. I miss you and the in and out burgers.

Sincerely
Vissaria

you asked me if i like stories…i like some stories…but not every story….i liked to hear why you photograph what it is that you photograph and why not certain things also…i always like to hear that story from every photographer…i also love to hear the stories of how people meet…either husbands and wives or just even old friends..it is always interesting to me what brings people together in a relationship outside of being born into a particular family…i do not like sad stories, like the one about your dog….and i do not like stories of people being really unkind to each other….i prefer the more uplifting part of human nature…i am now trying to tell the story of the people in Brazil…just like Greece, there are mostly good people and a few bad people…and even the bad people usually have some good in them….i am sure this is something you already know…well, i hope we do meet someday…i am counting on it..

cheers, david
