"Un autre n`est pas moi et
moi je ne suis pas un autre"
BURNT NORTON
(No. 1 of 'Four Quartets')
T.S. Eliot
"Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present."
"Nous ne faison jamais le voyage que nous pensons être en train de faire...."
Ben Okri ~ En Arcadie
THE NIGHT IS IN MY INTEREST
Indeed the night is in my interest.
First of all, it reduces ambition; moreover,
it corrects thoughts; then,
it collects the grief and makes it more bearable;
it dissects the silence with respect; in the gardens
it stresses smell,
but above all, night envelops. ~NIKOS KAROUZOS
"L'appareil photographique est pour moi une carnet de croquis, l'instrument de l'intuition et de la spontanéité, le maître de l'instant qui, en termes visuels, questionne et décide à la fois. Pour signifier le monde, il faut se sentir impliqué dans ce que l'on découpe à travers le viseur. Cette attitude exige de la concentration, de la sensibilité, un sens de la géométrie. C'est par une économie de moyen et surtout un oubli de soi-même que l'on arrive à la simplicité d'expression".
Henri Cartier-Bresson
"Ανάσκελα...για ν`αποκτώ με τα άστρα αμεσότητα
Μπρούμητα...για να προγεύομαι το χώμα
Αριστερό πλευρό
για να ενισχύω τον εφιάλτη της καρδιάς
Απ`το δεξί, για να μιμούμαι διπλωμένο βρέφος
Ολες οι ΣΤΑΣΕΙΣ ανθρώπου που έπεσε
Ολες οι ΕΓΓΕΝΩΣ ματαιωμένες στύσεις."
ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΒΕΛΤΣΟΣ "ο απάνθρωπος"
Mindful
Every day
I see or hear
something
that more or less
kills me
with delight,
that leaves me
like a needle
in the haystack
of light.
It was what I was born for -
to look, to listen,
to lose myself
inside this soft world -
to instruct myself
over and over
in joy,
and acclamation.
Nor am I talking
about the exceptional,
the fearful, the dreadful,
the very extravagant -
but of the ordinary,
the common, the very drab,
the daily presentations.
Oh, good scholar,
I say to myself,
how can you help
but grow wise
with such teachings
as these -
the untrimmable light
of the world,
the ocean's shine,
the prayers that are made
out of grass?

Jonė Reed says:
"If you ever come across Dimitri’s stream – trust me when I say this: you simply will never leave. Ever. For you will be lost in the magic of his work.
Every single photograph of his has meaning, purpose and reason.
And every photograph has Soul.
Your photography is Ode to Joy. To Love. To Life."20th November, 2008

" giovdim, Dimitri.
Some people are revealed by their photography and some are obscured by it.
giovdim has the ggift of being neither one.
He reveals his subject.
Dimitri has the gift of revealing an aspect of his subjects that I would never have seen without his help.
I would like to believe his roots in classical Greece play a part of his vision but that may be my own prejudice.
You can ask him.
He and I share an obsession with things that are, or look old. Antiques and antiquities, baubles, bangles, and beads as such that speak of Empire, Monarchs, and Realms.
I am very partial to his pictures of "Things" as they speak to the romantic and the idyllic in all of us.
Not to pass by his portraiture which is sharp, witty, and very dangerous.
I would be very careful about being one of his subjects!
I feel like his photostream is a museum of wonderous collections and exotic birds from another world that I cannot get enough of.
Timeless and without borders he puts his work in a field of its own and lets the deities do their best with it.
Stop in soon and often for a real treat and visit with a good friend to all of us.

"giovdim, Dimitris is an exceptional photographer and friend. His love for the beauty in all shapes of life are as evident in his abstract arts as they are in his moving portraits. His work is inspirational, spiritual and beloved to many.
I am glad to call him Friend."5th December, 2007

Gustavo Torelly says:
"All of yours shots have a special view, very warm, very delicate, very intense and some human minimalism of asiatics. Congratulations and try to going more faraway with it!
And you are a good critic also, got very well the spirit of my work!
