Paris Kontogiannis, a hugely talented photographer from Athens is next up. We've known him a long time and we think that he is so uber cool that we couldn't possibly do this project without having him in it. Σορτς is supposedly the Greek for hipster according to Google Translate. It's probably wrong. But I ask you this reader, are we not more hipstamatic that we get the translation wrong? Surely the obvious choice for a hipster would be not to use Google Translate in the FIRST place but we've pre-empted that thought and done a full circle and gone BACK to using Google Translate because it's even more hipster to do so. Do you follow us? No? Here is what the Paris had to say:
"The one with the grafiti and the other with the little child are somehow following the concept of joyful abandon in the sense that a child is the representation of the joy and an empty park with the clouds is for me the representation of abandon or the one with the einstein saying that love is the answer next to a guy that looks troubled. But the same feeling is generated to me in the third photo that does not have any emblem of joy or sadness. For me a noir looking person with a hat from the 20's walking alone in London is an abandoned person trying to maintain a joyful style in his life."
We love these photos Paris, danke so much! Or as they say in Greece (According to Google Translate), σας ευχαριστούμε!
