One hundred days, one hundred rooftops, one Acropolis

Following a trip to New York and what he describes as an ‘orgy of photography,’ Thodoris Georgakopoulos returned to Athens to find himself in an unusual position: the blogger, author and amateur photographer was drawing a blank on what to photograph in his hometown. That is until he looked up and realized that there is one thing that Athens has that exists nowhere else on Earth: the Acropolis.

Naturally the focal point of the Attica basin from the time the first neolithic settlers found shelter in its caves, the Acropolis, dominated for the past two-and-a-half millennia by the imposing Parthenon, is nothing if not unique. As are each of the different views of the rock afforded by thousands upon thousands of rooftops that make up the fabric of the city.

Using only mobile phone cameras, and the odd Instagram filter, Mr Georgakopoulos sought to capture one hundred of the many faces of the Acropolis, also photographing some of the modern Athenians around the ancient hill who would let him onto their rooftops.
