Dimitrios's Photo-world
IT IS ME, DAY2
Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 29 September 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Well this is the second and last day of placing a self portrait on am3. I enjoyed the idea and I would like to THANK everyone for the encouragement in this mini project.
Take care blogger of am3, do your part to make this world a better place to live, it deserves a chance.
The lady in the shot is my mother Helen, it was taken on her birthday a week ago.
May whatever GOD you believe in grant you LONG LIFE and prosperity and of course work for PEACE in the world. Remember that all great things are comprised by smaller individuals like YOU.
@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: hellow to you my friend, you see I have a nice mum too! regards D

It's a lovely shot D. Thanks so much for sharing your great idea with us - it's been great fun!!! We'll have to come up with more fun "projects" as the year draws to a close...perhaps we should think of a christmas project to do leading up to Christmas day..........celebrating the holidays around our towns.....hmmm, there's a fun project here I think!! :)

Hi Dimitrios!
Thank you for sharing the great idea to post a self-portrait.
And also thank you very much for the lines you have posted here.
Isn´t it amazing? People from all over the world are gathering at this place
and they didn´t knew the "other side" before. All in peace and harmony.
May some politicians could learn?!
I´m a little bit late and I posted my portrait today- more to come...
God bless you!

Josh from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Quoting you.. "Remember that all great things are comprised by smaller individuals like YOU."
You're a revolutionary! I think this is just one of the small great things you have started! Who knows, there might even be a Dimitrios day someday? Hehe, keep up ya good work! Your previous post had an overwhelming response. Good job on this idea!
2 Oct 2007 8:59am
@Josh: take care Josh, you are most KIND, I got a lot of happiness out of this small project, it only shows that the people at AMINUs 3 had a need for it.
Illuci from Netherlands
Dimitrios, thank you for your initiative and your wise words and excuse me that I'm so late but you'll know that many bloggers have little time and it's nobody's profession or work. People like you and words like these we miss so badly, especially among politicians and newspaper-commentators. Congratulations with your mother's birthday, and also with her because she appears to be a really gentle lady! Also congratulations to her!
BTW Please could you write a letter to the city authorities to remove that awful fence ? :) I'd rather build a wall with holes to look through, than this, Sophocles would turn around in his grave! :)
4 Oct 2007 8:18pm
@Illuci: thank you for all your comments. This theater is located in Larissa and is very important, when I was a chils it was completely covered with buildings and streets. Now you can see it in all its glory, makes the inhabitants of Larissa very proud about it. The rest its a matter of taste, the good thing that all the area around it is padestrian now. BE good, take care, D.
