Mavroudakis Fotis' photostream  

My name is Mavroudakis Fotis i live in Kavala a beautiful city in the northern part of Greece. I am interested in photography since 1988 when i first bought my first camera a Pentax Program A. Photography is my passion and it is my way to express my self and my creativity. I get a great deal of pleasure from this wonderful hobby.
The North east Greece is my home, where many of my photographs are taken in particular in the region of Kavala, where I live. I am within two hours drive of some spectacular scenery, including seascapes, lakes, lagoons, rivers majestic mountain ranges where I can be found most during weekends.
My main field of interest is landscape and travel photography as i love being in nature and discover new places.
I have also won various national awards and some international acclaims


THE MORE I SWEAT, THE MORE I SHINE

I’m not a star.
There is no halo over my head.
Fate dosen’t like the color of my eyes.
Struggle and strife are old friends of mine.
WHO AM I?
I am survival. I am guts. I am pride.
I like odds.
Especially when they are stacked against me.
Because there will come a time when I will stare them in the eyes.
And smile the smile of the one who’s pulled it off.
I am the guy who will have deep lines on his face someday.
And it will make me look good when I laugh.
Because that is the day I will fear no fear.
And taste sweat that is sweet.
And look back for the very first time and say,
I did it my way. The long hard way…
