Terence is an Atlanta-based photographer doing Altglass photography (vintage glass on mirrorless bodies) and (mostly) black & white available light photography - although lately he is feeling more like color. As many others out here, he is also a gear head eager on trying new gear and trying to find its place in the world of photography. He is definitely traveling too much. He loves Leica, in particular its glass, however he cannot afford a Leica M9 (yet?!).
So expect an inappropriate mix of travel photography, professional photography, gear reviews, news, and tutorials.

very cool! thanks!!
nice photos
lovely shot using low light – very nice
You are an amazing photographer !!! really lovely pictures !!! wow
Lovely photos! I’d so love to visit my ancestral homeland.
Very beautiful and lots of variety. Where are the people? I thought Athens was densely populated. Wrong? Also, I don’t know how hard it is, but it would be great if you could insert cutlines?
Fantastic photos
very thought
But still it’s gonna be 2:0 for Poland on Friday!!!
Gosh, I’ve actually been to Athens and missed soooooo much. Such interesting photos. I don’t know what it is about Greece but of all the places I’ve been to I actually burst into tears when I entered Greece from the viewpoint of a cruise ship. It was awe…some.
I really love Athens. Beautiful photos!
dream destination! thanks for sharing.
Nice pics. I am intrigued by the building with the ruins underneath in the last shot. Is it really as crazy in Greece right now as the US news makes it appear?
I don’t know what kind of crazy you hear in the US, but the situation is very messed up and a lot of people are in a really bad economic and psychological state.
That’s too bad. Such a glorious place and people to fall on such hard times.
Awesome pics. Athens is on my list!
This give us (those that have never been there) a completely different view! Beautiful.
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
Beautiful,Lik . Thanks sharing.!

Absolutely gorgeous photos! You are so talented!!
Athens is stunning, of course, but I remember there was also a lot of trash on the streets near the areas you shot. I think it shows a lot about your personality and character that you only showed the beautiful CLEAN STREET shots!!
These are awesome shots. Just got back from a vacation in Greece as well… compiled a lust list of the amazing food there. Check it out here http://soulfoood.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/one-week-in-greece-6/
Looks so much nicer without the rioting!
These pictures from the point of view of the very good! I like it very much! Thank you for your sha
What wonderful photos! Congratulations for being on Freshly Pressed!!!
I love how the old and new seem to intertwine together!!
I like your pictures, you captured both the historical and modern sides of Athens very well.
I don’t really like your use of light though. In some of your pictures there are bright areas which seem to have nothing to do with the subject. They draw my attention away from the main focus of the picture.
Beautiful photos!
I really hope to see Athens in August!
Beautiful photos. Can I be cheeky and ask what camera you use?
Congrats on freshly pressed
I used a Fuji X100 – this is an amazing camera.
Thank you
A city of contrasts – all what is old, ancient ruins, antique things and then plain, crisp glass constructions. I love how arcitects take care to smoothen the edges of the contrasts in order to get a well balanced cities. You have some amaizing pictures here to capture all that.

Great color treatment in the post processing, good work
Beautiful pictures, when I went to Greece I didn’t come back with pictures like this.
I am also using the X100… I have a lot to learn, very nice photos. I am spending the next few days in Athens, I will have to take a few shots.
I need to share them – you know that! Send me a message when you are back with a link
Great shots of my city – thank you for representing us so well at such a difficult time!

Excellent shots! Thank you for sharing it to us! Cheers!
Excellent post. This is really a good work. I appreciate your efforts behind that.
Thanks for sharing!
Athens is such a wonderful city. I loved my entire week traveling through Greece back in 2006. Your photos bring back such wonderful memories. I may have to go back through my files and pull out a few of my own.
Nice shots.
I notice you’re based in Germany; must be interesting to hear the different attitudes about the current eurozone crisis between citizens of the two countries. I was in Greece last autumn; the Greeks were not best pleased with the Germans then… mind you I can see the Germans point of view.
Personally, I’m just glad we in the UK stayed out of the Euro, though the crisis is inevitably affecting us “second-hand” too. More tough times ahead for the Greeks, though, I think.
I’m greek but I live in Germany.. and yes it gets interesting some times. One could say that Greeks are not pleased with Germans & Germans are also not pleased with Greeks. Both are wrong. It’s all about money, politics and the interests of few powerful people.. the citizens are just playing their game unfortunately.
Beautiful pictures. I love how the ruins are in the middle of the city. Old and new together.
Nice pictures! Thank you for sharing. Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed.

Once in Greece, all five senses are stretched to their limit. It’s something you want to experience again and again. It’s something you wish for everyday, consciously and subconsciously. It’s a feeling you never forget, and you never want to. It’s something that motivates you to continue to live and breathe and feel. It’s what is Greece. It’s what my Country is!

When you walk about Athens, Greece, this is what you see.
Great set of photos. I like how you processed the colours in these pictures
i have created a preset in lightroom for a slightly subdued look, i.e., reduced saturation and less contrast. this gives the look – really nothing fancy.
Thank you for sharing!
I love Athens and wish I could revisit. Lived there for a little while and the place holds a special place in my heart. You photos are beautiful, thanks for sharing them
So that’s where all my money goes: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/why-germany-bails-out-greece/

Beautiful pictures. My favorite is the one with the wrought iron fence in the foreground. (I think it’s called)
Great. Thanks for sharing your views.
Great pics, looks fun..
Super low light photography!
Athens looks truly breathtaking! What’s even better – your photography skills are excellent which really show off your talent! Well done! Oh and congratulations on getting Freshly Pressed!
Beautiful!
Pretty jealous right now. I want to go somewhere with so many old gods just hanging about.
Unusual lighting and a splendid city.
Greece is just one of those places that my heart really wants to visit one day. What is the economy like right now?
nice pics
lovely!
These are lovely shots. I visited Athens for a couple of days recently, and I loved every minute of it. I wonder if you managed to visit some of the greener Northern suburbs, or the beautiful Southern coastline? Gabriella
I love greece! Great photos!
