George The Greek Of Kos Castle

George The Greek Of Kos Castle

My wife and I purchased a holiday home in Turkey 8 years ago and so I have traveled to the Bodrum area of Turkey a fair bit.
On one such "Working Trip" (as I tell my wife) I with several of my friends popped across to the beautiful Greek island of Kos for the day.

It was during a tour around the Castle that I was drawn to this delightful man called George who was offering his services as a tour guide of the castle.

I knew straight away I had to photograph him so I sat out of the blistering May heat on a rustic old marble bench with him and struck up a conversation.
I mentioned I was over here from Turkey where I had a home and he shared some details of his life.

I could have sat chatting in this idyllic spot for hours but soon my friends caught me up, so I asked if I might capture his portrait and he obliged and we said our goodbyes.

I adore meeting, chatting, and photographing people like George after all they have been there seen it, and done it all and can tell some wonderful stories.
