Doris AthanassakisNote: This portfolio of  images represents yet another offering via Weekly Hubris of works by photographer Doris Athanassakis. Athanassakis spends much of her year in Imerovigli,  a caldera-side village on the volcanic island of Santorini. Of Greek and Austrian heritage, Athanassakis has been photographing her island home, its architecture, and its human and feline residents, all her life. Her work comprises an ongoing and lifelong meditation upon her stunningly unique surroundings . . . and herself in them.

Doris Athanassakis, up until 2013 a world-renowned Santorini restaurateur, changed course in mid-life and now devotes her time to photographing her beloved island and working as a body-work therapist (massage, Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu, Reflexology, aromatherapy, and other healing modalities) on Santorini and in Athens. A multi-multi-lingual, and multi-cultural bi-national (Greek and Austrian), Athanassakis spends part of the year in each of her homelands, but returns in the spring to the light and line of Santorini, the Cycladic island which is her abiding inspiration. Readers and viewers, please, please respect Doris’s Copyright to her photographs, and do not share her work on Facebook or use for other purposes without the photographer’s explicit permission and/or without including the specific Hubris link. Of course, feel free to “like” her columns, but remember that this photographer needs to be compensated for her remarkable work. If you fall in love with an image, buy a print, please.
