biography   
  
   I was born in Greece near the ancient city of Delphi. My interest in photography began at the young age of 12 when I began experimenting with cinematography. At the age of 16 I had created my own room. I photographed images of the neighbouring landscape and the many interesting faces in this small town. I later moved to Athens and studied at the photography institute under the well known Athenian photographer, John Patrikios.

   I moved to San Francisco in 1986 and further developed my skill and talent in photography when I met George Thanos, a master in photography. He introduced me to the Millbrae Camera Club where I entered many of my prints in national competitions. I received a certificate of merit from the Northern California Council of Camera Clubs and several of my photographs received first place in the competitions.

   Every summer I travel to the Greek Islands for a photo session. The Greek Islands are a photographer's paradise of rich colour, light and breathtaking views of sea and sun. Each of my photographs has a unique theme consisting of colourful doors, staircases, windows and various landscape. Please enjoy your trip through the Greek Islands.
