Daily Bread Stories from Rural Greece

By Beatrice Hamblett

Photographs and stories culled from 10 years of road trips through rural Greece.In 2004, I made my first road trip photographing across rural Greece. I was searching for the "real" Greece, not the places tourism had altered but places where people still worked the earth and celebrated traditions. My Greek was okay and so I stopped, asked questions of strangers, took photos, wrote stories and made friends along the way. Narratives poured forth in the quiet light of a 6 a.m. milking--in numerous images that witnessed the slow integration of 21st century ways into rural lives. "Daily Bread: Stories from Rural Greece" will immerse you in the everyday lives of farmers, bakers, sheepers, fishermen?, people living simple lives in small villages across Greece. In my photos and stories, I have reached for the moments that distill the essence of character and occasion, moments that celebrate the ancient traditions, the love of family, the courage and dignity of the Greek people."
