Right in the middle of nowhere, on the side of a narrow, winding country road leading to a special, kind of surreal little village in Northern Chios (Pytios), a village where time, seasons and space somehow loose their meaning and news from the outer world never reach you. The bench accompanying the lonely tree overlooks nothing in particular, just a plain, barren field, yet it's the perfect place to lose yourself and to be lost for a while.

This is one of my very first attempts at Infrared photography. I hadn't dared to take a picture of this tree before because sometimes a shot doesn't capture a memory, it destroys it horribly. When I saw how infrared filters work I thought that it was the only way to capture the unreal quality of this place.

Mine too (from my infrared work that is!) For some reason I find that the camera converted to take only IR shots doesn't produce such richly contrasted images and tones as the IR filter :(

Well, I hope you manage to get some more IR shots in again one day.

(Of course, you could always get a medium or large format film camera and shoot some IR film and see how that turns out...!)

taken with the converted camera. Actually I' ve been thinking about buying a Nikon D70 so I can use the filter again :)

It's a nice shot - does seem to have a little less contrast - is that what you meant re the difference between a converted camera and using an IR filter? (Good idea re D70 though...)
