I don't get the impressed reactions. It's just one of those sparrow-emitting faucets anyone can get at Lowe's for $29.99...
Dimitris's picture of a dog on a balcony is truly amusing. We asked him to tell us more about the context behind this image.
“This photo was taken during a family trip in Albania recently. I was walking with my family when I saw the dog. I saw the possibility with the eyes and made several shots. This was the keeper,” shared Dimitris.

As a street photographer, Dimitris is faced with various challenges. We asked what was his biggest one and how he managed to navigate through it. “The biggest challenge is to act fast if needed. It is a matter of continuous practice, I think,” wrote the photographer.
We also were curious to know who had the biggest influence on Dimitris regarding his photography. He responded: “Nicos Economopoulos. I learned a lot by studying his photos, about framing, composition, and storytelling.”

That expression says, "What's your problem, Mac? Never seen a girl read before?"
Yes, she sure has that "what are you lookin at?" stare!

The photographer shared what he would like for people to take away from his work: “I would like to talk to senses and the mind of the viewer.”
And lastly, Dimitris added: “Grab a camera and start taking photos if you do not already!”

I suspect this a deliberate rebellion on her part. She very likely use to have freedom now she has a white cat.
I can't help but see all of the trash on the ground in the background. Wowzer!

My body is a temple. Sadly it is one of those temples in Thailand that is covered in vines and monkey s**t!

I don’t know what to do with the fact that the photographer’s name is Romeo.

Next time I have to throw away a mattress because it's too old I kinda want to do this with some red paint. Might need to be ready for the police to come knocking, but it'd be funny.

I hope it transplants fine and becomes the most beautiful tree in some lucky persons garden!
Had a customer put a fully leafed-out potted fig tree in the bed of his pickup truck once. Insisted it would be fine AGAINST advice. Got on the highway and drove 75 mph all the way home. Came back the next day. Didn't say a thing about the fate of the FIRST fig tree, but bought A MUCH SHORTER one, had the top CAREFULLY shrink-wrapped, and put it CAREFULLY inside the cab ... himself.

If I ever get there, I'm going to stand at the same lean so it looks like the tower is perpendicular :P
I love seeing views of all the tourists doing the "holding pizza" pose
We visited once and it was... like being surrounded by morons (apologies). We kinda fled the place. Plus too many people. Much too many.
Depends on where the photographer for her was standing.
