Thessaloniki in Black and White

Fotis — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 15:22:47 +0000

On my recent trip to Thessaloniki, I decided to bring one of my film cameras and shoot a couple of rolls of black and white film.

Shooting film occasionally is a nice experiment and a rewarding experience.

The camera used is an Olympus XA. One of the most compact rangefinder cameras. The film stock is Kodak’s Tri-X pushed one stop to ISO 800.

WordCamp Thessaloniki 2019: a Photo Recap

Fotis — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 06:56:00 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I attended and helped with the organizing of WordCamp Thessaloniki. It is the second year this event takes place in this beautiful city in Northern Greece.

The day before the event the organizing team and the volunteers got together in the venue to make the necessary preparations.

On the day of the event, I managed to snap only a handful of photos as I was busy helping in the Community Booth and presenting the speakers in one of the rooms.

The next morning we met in another place for the Contributor Day.

Portraits at the Automattic Grand Meetup

This year at my company’s annual meetup I decided to bring my Fujifilm instax mini 90 instant camera to take pictures.

It’s a bulky camera and I also had to carry many packs of instant film. But it was worth the hassle.

The moment people saw the picture being ejected from the camera and starting to develop in front of their eyes, they were amazed. On top of that, I gave away almost all the photos.

This post comprises of photos that my colleagues scanned with their phones and send it back to me.

I don’t know what got into me today and I decided to sticker bomb my MacBook Pro.

I think it looks unique and it’s a nice way to showcase my love for WordPress and Automattic.

10 years ago I started using WordPress.com. I never thought that 10 years later I’ll be working for Automattic, WordPress.com’s parent company!

A few days ago I received a package in the mail containing swag from the WordPress store. It was a gift from WordPress.com for volunteering in the community forums.

So here are some photos of me honoring the gift.

Now I’m a true WordPress fanboy
