There’s no better way to explore the Greek islands than riding a motorbike, but don’t forget to wear a helmet. Hopping from one island to the next gets super easy: while cars and other vehicles have to reserve in advance the spot on the ferry, there’s always room enough in the hold for bikes that get secured to the walls by thick ropes. My beloved black BMW R100/7 carried without big problems – it lost (!) a muffler but I had a new one hand made (!) in Athens – two adventurous travelers and all the equipment for scuba and photography, plus a beach umbrella and straw mats for the relax days.
Canon A1, Canon Sure Shot WP-1 underwater camera. Ektachrome 100. It’s practically impossible to store your film in a cool place when you travel on a motorbike under the Summer Mediterranean sun, and this could be the reason why some of the slides developed tiny bubbles – between film base and protective layer? – . I also carried polarizing filters that I used to reduce water surface reflection and saturate the sky. I realize now that I sometimes overdid it.
In the nineties I had the chance to work extensively for a few travel and life-style magazines while I was based first in Milan, Italy and later in New York, NY. When on assignment the schedule was usually tight and the time to photograph not always in sync with the best light or weather conditions, it happens. Nonetheless I always managed to bring home the result and keep my editors happy, which is paramount if you want to land more assignments that, by the way, brought me to several countries around the world.
Some assignments were more fun than others, or easier to accomplish but, nevertheless, each one of them was a positive experience and left enriching memories.
A selection of the images shot then are now part of a photobook, a great collection of beautiful pictures and entertaining anecdotes.
It comes in print and digital.
