Day 21 Pictures

This was a flower in Perissa. I bumped up the colors to really make it awesome. It apparently is a Petunia, I just learned this.

This was a little boy that was playing on the street. We came upon him and when we started shooting pictures he got really shy. This is him peaking out to see if we were still taking pictures, and we were.

Another sign for our assignment. I bumped up the reds and brought out some of the contrast between the colors to make this sign just pop.

I found a little Vespa and had to take a picture of the word "vespa" on it. When I was editing it the glint on the "a" was really bothering, but now I like it, because it shows that it is a metallic surface and not just a piece of plastic glued onto the vehicle.

Here was a beer bottle I found on the ground. It was classily amongst building equipment. I brought out some of the wrinkles in the label. You can even see that the label is starting to peel away from the  bottle.

Another sign for the project. This one is clearly saying that no cars and motorcycles are allowed. Are these signs followed? Rarely. It is just best to always be on the lookout for anything moving faster than you are.

This was on a dirt bike. I brought out the rust a little bit. One of the things that drew me to this was that fact that it looks like it is raised off of the surface of the bike. However, it is not, but the sun damage around the edging of the label makes it look like it is.

I license plate. I like it, because it says "YEA" and I also like that the numbers have some rhyme of reason to them, or it at least appears so. 

Here was a sign in Perissa. I messed with it a little so that you could see the brush strokes in the red, and even a little bit in the blue. The top word is a little slanted, but there isn't much that I can do about that.

Yup, I found some old beer bottles. I'm not going to lie, I was completely creeping in someones little property area. Don't worry. It wasn't gated or anything. More like a quad between buildings. I bumped up the red to bring out the peeling sealer.

Well this is a pay phone booth. I actually took this from inside the pay phone booth. I messed with this one a lot to just give is a different feel. The letters almost look neon now. It was a little bit of a bother though, since the red letters caste a reddish tint within the whole inside of the pay phone booth.

We found a bakery. I liked the fact that some of the letters were missing, but due to some glue you could still tell were they used to hang on the sign. The "B" is in the worst condition and the "R" has gotten a little too much sun.

This is not something I drank. You can tell from all the dust. This was actually at an outdoor bar that looked closed down. Their whole top shelf was lined with these empty bottles of Jagermeister. But I chose to put this photo in for class since it was different. I personally liked how you couldn't see the whole name of the label, but the bottle next to it has the name right on the side of the bottle.

Here is an ashtray. It is even complete with clothes pins and used Q-tips. I bumped up the red in this picture some, and it really brought out all the dust that was on the ashtray. When I was editing stuff I really noticed just how almost everything was covered in dust. It makes everything look so much older than it really is.

I stumbled upon this cactus and it made me laugh. I just loved how it was "JK." It was probably supposed to symbolize peoples' names, but all I could think about was "just kidding."

This pretty much has been our whole situation the entire time here. This wasn't taken in Kamari, but our beach is pretty dang close to our hotel. Since we are on an island I thought it would be appropriate to throw in a picture of a beach indication.

This is my low perspective shot of "Tonys Art" There was another word, but the was just too much space, so I cut it out of the picture.

This was drawn on the side of the wall in Perissa. I just like how it can be interpreted in a few different ways. It was really awesome coming upon this.

We are now in Fira, which was actually harder to get pictures in than I thought. I didn't to just go around and take a bunch of random photos of signs, so I had to look for the more random and unique ones. This was a more unique looking one.

So I bumped up the orange on this one some, but it was already pretty much this orange today. It is just being built, so the sun hasn't had time to bleach the letters yet. I also chose to take this shot from an angle because it really gave it some movement to it, even though it is completely stationary.

This was the logo for a random store. You think it would be for some fancy jewelry or something, but it was just a generic souvenir clothing store. I turn the color down, so it wasn't blindingly white. It actually brought out the marbling in the stone, so that was awesome.

This was a store called Milo, clearly (pronounced "Mee-lo"). Milo is the Greek word for apple, so it is actually quite funny that they have an apple next to the name. All the tourists who can't speak Greek will know this place because of the apple, but all the Greek see the apple with the name and think, "no duh, milo is the word for apple."
