The magazine of the photo-essay
Jan 2020 back issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
During the summers of 1983-84, for a month each year, Tod Papageorge
photographed on the Acropolis, producing a body of work that seems lost in time,
fusing the ancient with the modern.
“I stayed at a nice hotel, the Zafolia, five minutes from the Acropolis, where every
surface in my room was marble, and where I did laps in the pool every evening,
driving the hotel staff crazy. I usually ate lunch at a vegetarian restaurant in the
Plaka, right under the Acropolis, but I have no memory at all of where I’d go for
dinner. Very solitary the whole time. That was it: Up The Hill in the morning, down for
lunch, then back up again for more, then a swim and dinner somewhere nearby.”
