"Thodoris Tzalavras Photography" (by Thodoris Tzalavras) http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/5935 Pictures 01 through 08 are part of a series titled "Vacation in Hell" and were created during my Mandatory duty in the Greek armed forces in 2002-2003. Pictures 09 through 20 are part of a project titled "Nicosia in Dark and White" which is about the current condition (2006-2007) of the area around the so called Green-Line that divides the capital of Cyprus since 1974. Further information can be found on my website.
