Thank you for sharing. I love the great diversity of women who found their way into your camera!

Yet, I would probalby prefer not to be married to a Greek woman. I once had a flatmate girl from Greece ... ohohoh ... I am not a very typical German I fear, but I felt the Genes very strongly ... happy when she moved out ...

And the Grandma of my Grandma was Greek!

Mongo really likes this shot ! There is diversity even in threes. Particularly like what you have captured of the woman on the left - great connection with the camera/viewer and quite sincere spontaneous emotion from her. Its a shame and an interestingly telling social comment about this that all three woman seem to be in a hurry to injure their lungs and relatively youthful health.  Do real people still smoke in 2016 ??

Also like the clarity and tones of this mono image. Mongo notes the lens you used for this - it shows in the result. Nice work.

Ron, did you use a 50mm lens for all images in this batch?

[MFloyd]

Excellent picture. All shot around Syntagma place ?

[elsa hoffmann]

That is a really great image Ron! Beautiful interaction and expressions.

Ron - great series of the urban sirens of Athens

Unfortunately, people still smoke.  In the US there has been a major reduction.  I think the 50 f/1.4G is a bargain.  Thank you.

Most, but not all.  Shots taken outside the city were with a 24-120.  If you view the individual images using the carousel there is a partial exif panel at the lower right.

Mostly near Syntagma.  A few were taken outside Athens.  If you are Greek the locations should be familiar.

Thank you Frank.  I didn't know you had a little Greek in you.

Ron, thanks.  Sorry I missed the the technical data display.  You utilize the humble 50mm lens nicely, and there are many nice snapshots.

Yikes, "snapshots"  that word as bad connotations.

Nah, I didn't imply anything negative.  I enjoy your interactions with the people you capture.
