The poor and cold home in which Evaggelia was born affected her personality in the most determinant way. Her violent and alcoholic father injured her psychology in the most dramatic way and her mother, also intensively hurt from her husband, was a distant and despotic woman that never really helped her daughters feel safe and accepted.    The smuggler father, instead of guiding his children to achieve some basics in life, he sent them to find a work immediately after their elementary school. He also forced Evaggelia to get married at the age of 17th to a man she didn’t know. Before she even turned twenty my mother had given birth to two boys. Her father’s attitude and all her childhood traumas have finally persecuted my mother’s marriage and children.    The conservative society in which everything happened and the stupid idea that “we need always to hide our feelings so nobody knows how much hurt or poor we are” became the bases on which ou...

Chapter 1    For several weeks now, the road trips that I did with my dear friend Zeffi into the west coast of the United States has been unveiling itself to me. The Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon, the Route 66 which is the one that I had wished to visit the most as a child, the truly enormous Hoover Dam and the absolutely amazing city of Las Vegas, had indiscreetly yet surely left their marks into my heart and of course into my camera.    Today, one more majestic destination was coming up.

This huge, old, pure and white salt flat looks exactly like the ones you can find in Bolivia. Thank God, I could see one of them from so close. Yes, I could walk on it; capture some amazing images just like the ones I could get if I was on the Bolivian Andes and why not to clear my energy most naturally. Maybe Uyuni-lake was quite far at that momen...

             The lock-down in Belgium officially started on the 13 th of March.  A few weeks after, weeks that were a kind of lost, mostly in movie-streaming, cooking and funny videos on Tiktok, Mr. Simeon Obligado, fashion designer and event organiser, thought of start making and offering for free, handmade masks to his close friends and relatives. Quickly, many different people started showing interest in his nicely done products.    It was only on the 5 th of May that Simeon announced to all his friends and followers that in exchange for a small amount of money and by paying the shipping cost, he could send his masks to whoever contacted him through his phone. Also, timid and humble by nature and deeply connected with his hometown back in the Philippines, he informed everyone that for every mask they would ask, he would give a small percentage, as an aid, to the inhabitants of the small town which had been unjustly beat...
