| 802_2680 [Hyacinthella leucophaea ssp. atchleyi] A rare flower that grows in small populations in very few locations in Greece. This is probably the main reason why it is included in the Red Data Book of Rare and Threatened Plants of Greece (Patra 2009) and is considered a species that is “almost threatened with extinction”. Photographed in Viotia on February 23, 2016. |

In December 2014 I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend a guided tour to a photographic exhibition held within the National Archaeological Museum of Greece in Athens. The tour was conducted by the well-known American photographer and ardent philhellene J. Joshua Garrick who guided visitors to his photographic work of selected museum exhibits. The photographer not only provided a wealth of information on ancient Greek art but also led a tour that proved to be a crash course in innovative photography! Thank you Joshua. Days after the tour I couldn’t stop thinking of what the artist had shared with us and was tempted to replicate one or two of his admirable works. Eventually, I succumbed to temptation. The picture above is the outcome of my attempt to photographically approach this exhibit [Artemision Jockey, here] through Joshua’s eyes.
