Note: This portfolio of twelve Black & White images represents the third offering of works by photographer Doris Athanassakis at Weekly Hubris. Athanassakis lives 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 myriad residents, all her life, and her work comprises an ongoing and lifelong meditation upon her stunningly unique surroundings . . . and herself in them. (All Athanassakis’s works are for sale, in limited edition archival prints: please contact her regarding gallery sales through her Weekly Hubris email address: athanassakis@gmx.at.)

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.

    DORIS:

    I AM REAL CAT CRAZY. AND HAVE REALLY ADMIRED YOUR WORK. I AM A SONGWRITER, ARTIST & PRODUCER. I HAVE FOUND THAT PHOTOGRAPHY IS PROBABLY THE MOST DIFFICULT ART FORM FOR ME TO CONQUER.I JUST DON’T HAVE THE EYE TO IDENTIFY A MEMEORABLE SHOT.

    REALLY GREAT STUFF,
