Even better than the Acropolis itself. Well almost. At least in the summertime when thousands of tourists are stuck in between the Patheon and the Dionysos temple at 45 degrees Celsius. This is one of the few museum where it is not allowed to take pictures.
I took some before I asked. Sorry. Continue reading

In the past I only took my iPhone or compacts to concert because usually it is not allowed to take picture or to shoot movies.

It’s almost a kind of hype. Even they still very rich talk about reduction. Of course most of the time they are praying water and drinking wine.

As much as the magic of reduction is hyped most of the time less means just less. It’s the same with cameras. Less is just less. Continue reading
