Peter,
I hope this message finds you and your family well in such strange times.
As for me, due to some less than pleasant personal circumstances, I have moved back to the US to live for the first time in 16 years, and while the move wasn’t really preferred or expected, I have embraced it as an opportunity to take a new look at the country through eyes, ears and tastebuds, and of course also through camera (the Monochrom).
That being said, before setting off for North America, I was able to sneak in a short photographic trip to Crete, which I had never before visited and was an appropriate destination for more reasons than one in terms of helping me fight some personal demons. It was a satisfying way to say a temporary farewell to a beautiful continent, the fourth on which I have lived and worked.
If you would be so kind, I would welcome the opportunity to show these to your readers (and fellow photographers):

Most important of all, stay safe and keep shooting……. photography is a wonderful tonic for staying sane these days.
Best Regards,
Aaron

Thank you Aaron. These images express the humanity of the moment and are street photography at its best. Just wonderful! They epitomize two favorite Robert Frank quotes: “When people look at my pictures, I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice” and “Black and white are the colors of photography. To me these symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.”
