When in Greece


Recently I took a school trip to Greece with my camera. Throughout the week I captured the landscape and urban life of Greece. 

As we flew, the land beneath us was beautiful



Right out of the airport, it was clear how the Greek economy relied on tourism

Walking through the city people and dogs where everywhere
There were many museums and tourist locations in the city








But the most beautiful and awe aspiring sight was the landscape and everyday life

It's all in the moment. But, it's true they do decide whether or not they pull the trigger. We have to trust our officers." "We have to find a proper balance between law and compassion." "As a Chicagoan I have seen my fair share of the emotional torment police shootings have had on the city. I love this city and seeing it be torn apart by this hurts me. I do not think that the police get the right to chose." I decided to get a voice from Lab, Abraham Zelchenko "The police who are trigger happy act as the judge, jury, and executioner.
