When he compares Papadimos' photos with those of the famous National Geographic magazine it is also certain that he knows that this magazine is famous for its photos but not for the artistic quality of the photos it publishes. As we are informed by the accompanying texts Dimitris years as a photojournalist in several Greek news and current affairs magazines. He photographed Greece and especially Athens in the postwar years and many of the artists Greek and foreign friends of Greece who were emblematic presences during the s and s in our country from Seferis and Katsimbalis to Lawrence Durell . As an Egyptian Greek born in Cairo where he also did his school studies he also photographed a lot in Egypt and other Arab countries. These photos of his are precious to us because they connect us with moments in our history but also with corners of our city and our country as well as with people who although they are all part of our recent past at the same time look alike and so far away.
The strong element of these photographs is therefore primarily nostalgic and simultaneously e-commerce photo editing but secondarily historical. In other words the historical dimension is more connected to the captions and texts that accompany the photos. Perhaps for this reason the design of the book should have taken care firstly to select mainly those photos that had this dimension more strongly and secondly to have connected them more closely to the texts. A portrait of Seferis for example simply because it shows us the face of the great poet he would have no interest in someone who wouldn't recognize him or who wouldn't get the information that it was Seferis. And a photo of an Athenian crossroads in would for the same reasons have no interest for a foreign and young viewer. However it is a fact that Papademos was a straightforward and clean photographer qualities that are rare among today's photojournalists which gives his photos dignity and nobility.
Our eye runs calmly through them and their aim which is clearly imprinting and almost never transformation or transcendence is fully achieved. no interest for a foreign and young viewer.
