The People of Greece

When surveyed, most people will say the

subject matter they enjoy looking at most,

is other people. I don't usually take a lot of

pics of people; I feel intrusive or rude sticking

my camera in their face. But if I can get

one from a distance or discreetly, I will. So

here are a few of the "people pics" from the

last few days.

The shepherd was along the highway, and our

sweet bus driver stopped so we could get a photo.

It is one of my favorites so far. The two old men

were right down the bench from me (see top photo)

while I was painting, so I snapped them unaware.

The street musicians were in Corfu serenading an

adjacent table. The Greek man in his embroidered

vest was outside a shop in Metsovo. The buggy

driver was very bored I think; tourism is down, and

I don't think he had many takers of the buggy ride.

And the charming young dancers performed for us

at a tavern in Corfu. And that is me painting in the

village of Metsovo. I have many of the other travelers

offering to take my photo somewhere, but I don't

often want in the picture. But I do like a record of me

actually working once in awhile, so there I am! I

really did some painting in Greece, and I have the

picture to prove it!
