The story behind the photo
A holiday trip to the island of Kos, Greece, resulted in several beautiful shots of the Kos town center and the island, including this art shot.
We found this rusty wreck of a lorry standing on a field near Marmari Beach. It must have been standing there for at least a decade, if not longer. I guess it has been removed by now. Anyway, the late afternoon sun was illuminating the wreck beautifully, and I liked the fact that it had not been sprayed all over (as it would happen today) but left to rot in peace.
Shot with a Canon AE-1 Program on negative film which got lost over the years. Fortunately I had this very good and undamaged print sitting in the archive which I scanned and edited in 2024.
