Each summer I travel to the Greek Islands
These are not as you might think holidays
(Although I do use the beaches)
My main occupation is photography
As there are many unfinished buildings
To be found especially in the coastal areas
I call them Unrealised Dreams
Or Testaments of Foolishness
There are so many to be found
Decaying starkly in the barren landscapes
These poor creatures fascinate me
I almost feel sorry for them
Each has a view to a perfect sea
Which further increases their isolation
I always take black and white photographs
As this heightens the vacancy
Of these forgotten buildings
I sometimes use myself from life
As I like to explore the differences
Between my soft white flesh
And the rough weathered concrete
I have been photographing these buildings
For a number of years on various islands
This is my fifth year and I am planning further visits
