    I agree with David….... at a glance I also thought so….....well captured!

  • fotonio replied

    This is a series of a fire that burnt a factory very close to the ancient area of Plato’s Academy in the Center of Athens.
    It was in 1999, I was studying photography at that time, I saw the smoke because I was living very close to that area and run…I loved street photography, it was my passion, but unfortunately there’s no work for this kind of photography in Greece…
