The Memories Of The Future: Photographer Nuno Assis Captures Fantastic Photos Of Hong Kong

Portuguese Nuno Assis’s photos show that there’s more to Hong Kong than the Big Buddha and the skyline. His photos reflect the architect’s eye for symmetry and composition. We totally dig his love for reflection, especially the puddle series.

Photographing the Milky Way Over Greece

Alexandros Maragos is an Athens based filmmaker and photographer best known for his landscape photography, astrophotography and timelapse imagery. In his own words:

The Milky Way is the name of the spiral galaxy in which our solar system is located. It is our home in space. The Earth orbits the Sun in the Solar System, and the Solar System is embedded within this vast galaxy of stars. In the northern hemisphere, the Milky Way is visible in the southern half of the sky. This makes Greece one of the best places in the world to see and photograph the galaxy because of the country’s geographic location in Southern Europe at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. 

As a filmmaker and photographer I feel very fortunate to live here. Every time I want to shoot the night sky, all I do is to pick a new spot on the map and just go there and take the shot. Greece is a heaven for astrophotography. Whether you choose a mountain, a beach, a peninsula or any of the 6,000 islands, the Milky Way is always visible in the southern sky.

I just had to have a Downton Abbey post. I can’t stop thinking about this show, so this is no doubt my new obsession. I think I’ve fallen in love with each character and I honestly cannot wait ‘til the next season.

My favorite characters:

Lady Sybil: Other than her being so kind and generous, I have lots in common with her. She can’t stand still. She always needs to get up and do something for the better, helping others and ensuring their happiness. I also love her voice :) It’s like a unique kind of raspy.

Lady Mary: I honestly think she’s the smartest and wisest out of the Crawley sisters. I like her voice too haha. It’s really bold. And I like the fact that she wants what’s best for her family, even if it puts her in a position where she doesn’t really love the man she is engaged to marry.

Matthew Crawley: Maybe because he’s cute. Haha but he’s more than that. He’s wise as well, and he loves Mary! <3 

Anyone up for a road trip?
