Symi Daily Photo Journal

Thanks to the lovely people at Blipfoto, I've now started a Symi Island Photo Journal. The concept is simple. Try and upload 1 photo a day. Adding text is optional but it's nice to write a few words on why you took the shot. Early days for me at the moment, but I've had some great comments, and over 1260 views for 8 Symi related photos.

My photos will tend to be more personal instead of tourist shots you usually see around the web. Sometimes I won't have time to get out and take a shot, so maybe it will be something random from that day. If you get a chance, look at some of the other entries. You don't have to be a professional photographer with lots of submitted pictures coming from phones.

Anyway, if you fancy having a look on everyday, or every now and then, here is the link: Symi Island, Greece You'll also notice the calendar in the bottom right hand corner. You'll see here the highlighted days I've taken a photo!

Podcasts, Symi Art Exhibitions, & the darker side of Symi

August has been a busy month, and September looks to be the same. The Symi Podcast #9 and The Symi Podcast #10 were released by Athan from Athens, and returning guest DJ, Beanie G. Both have been very popular, so I think we have 2 returning Dj's for future episodes. An unpopular website here is also publishing a podcast under the same name due to stealing my original work for hits. I cannot distance myself enough from 'their' work. This is not the original Symi Podcast, and I certainly wouldn't want what they do to be labelled as anything to do with me from the original 5 podcasts they continue to list. The first 5 they do list help my ratings, but anything after this is not originally from The Symi Podcast.

Also this month, Paul Anderson will be the second exhibitor at The Symi Gallery. Starting from the 11th of September, Paul's work will be in the gallery one month. His work is very colourful, so if you're on Symi, drop by and have a look. The gallery is on the ground floor of the Symi Visitor (bottom of the'Lazy Steps') More information will appear about his exhibition, and future ones too.

Lastly, have you ever searched 'Symi' on ITunes. There is an album by Marco 'Polo' Cecere, called 'Passport to Paradise'. On the album is a track called 'The Dark Side of Symi'. Have a listen. It's actually very upbeat, and the album as a whole is a nice listen.

For those of you wondering what the picture is above. It was taken last month at St Emelianos. This is the Grandson of my landlord, and he decided to do a bit of fishing.
