Rethymno, Greece
20th of November 2011

We were getting hungry and stopped in this small taverna, the typical small restaurant you can find everywhere in Greece. When we finished eating (and drinking quite a lot of raki), this guy agreed to be taken in photo. In the 1h30 we stayed in the taverna, he rarely spoke and didn't smile once. His eyes were tired from age and history but still determined with life. He was proud as a Greek and strong as a Cretan, and more alive than ever.

A boy was laughing while playing with his father necklaces. I sat on a dead tree, 2 meters behind them in order to take a break from my walk. I asked the father if I could take a picture of his son. He smiled, nodded and told his son to look at me. The boy froze as soon as he turned around and saw me. It wasn't fear but a mix of "what should I do" and shyness. During the 30 seconds it took me to take 3 pictures, the boy didn't move an eyelash. After I took the picture, I realized the boy wasn't looking at me but that he was really focused on the 75 liters bagpack I was carrying.
