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 shot.

We spotted this donkey on a field near Marmari Beach. For us, coming from a city, it was an unusual sight to see it in a touristic area. But it was really a fun shot. You see, every now and then you feel like a donkey (or want to tell someone you think you behaved like one), so it’s a nice idea to hand over a photo with a donkey and some apologies, right? 🙂

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.
