My life is spent in the ebb and flow of pleasure, in erotic fantasies—sometimes realized.
My work leans toward thought.
Perhaps rightly so.
Then my work is like the amphora I mentioned. It allows for different interpretations.
And my love life has its own manifestation—obscure only to the ignorant. Expressed more broadly, it maynot have been enough of an artistic field for me to stay, to be enough for me.
I work like the ancients. They wrote history, they created philosophy, dramas of a mythological tragic nature—sensual—so many of them—just like me.

Greek photographer Dimitris Yeros’ latest book, Shades of Love, is a virtuosic blend of image and poetry. A decade-long labour of love by one of Greece’s most accomplished photographers, the project combines Yeros’ masterful black and whites with select poems by C. P. Cavafy, Greece’s celebrated poet who died in 1933. Cavafy, beloved by Greeks and bibliophiles, is less known to the world at large. Yeros’ images artfully breathe new life into the poems and place them within reach of a wider audience.
