No idea if anybody reads this stuff, but just wanted to give some news of me in 2015:

- Openned a new FB page as a photographer: www.facebook.com/mkorkia (feel free to like)
- Shot a TV ad for Hotels.com Turkey. There are 9 of them and this first of them is already live check it out:
- I also shot a video of Irakli Mamrikishvili:
- I also managed to visit few new countries: Poland and Slovakia.
- I also visited number of countries I've been before: South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Germany and Turkey.
- I feel madly in love and had amazing time, but then I found out I have had no hope and got my heart completely broken. (at least this resulted in my most productive writing period - first piece uploaded today)
- I invested in my favourite brewery - Camden Town Brewery (their Gentlemen's Wt is brilliant!)

I guess this is it in a nutshell. Would like to hear your highlights!

Hey guys,

I am starting off on a road trip through Europe Starting in London going to Santander (Spain) by ferry and then through Barcelona to French Riviera to Venice another feery to northern Greece through Thessaloniki to Istanbul and finally via Cappadocia to Georgia. It all makes up to about 8,000km and 30 cities to visit oin only 17 days. SO if you're interested in seeing some photos, videos, tips about cities, food culture, activites etc come over and follow me on my FB page: www.facebook.com/profile.php?i…

Of course the best photos will eventually end up here, but if you want it live and want also to give some tips to me, then FB will be best. ALso any news on the project #OTREurope

See you all soon!

I think I am getting to one. The winds of change are blowing and it feels like the endof an era...don't know what it means, but I have a gut feeling!

Peace out!!!

Hey guys,

I just realized I still had a freakin' Merry X-mas entry on. I really need to get writing more of those. I mean, it  is a pretty good media to communicate with. I know not that many of you actually read journals. On most occasions you just click delete, but I guess whoever it concerns are not reading this anyhow!

I have had a bit of a stagnant period in my creativity. I did do edit quite a lot of my photos from last year, but still need to catch up with about 80 of them, so stagnant state might not  be that bad. Though I do start to get a craving. Need to get some good photoshoots going this upcoming month. Also want to get back to writing and painting...

On the other hand, I did hit few milestones in my none-art (mostly) life:

- 4 years working for Hotels.com as a Marketing Manager (2nd of March, 2014)
- 4.5 years living in London
- 3.5 years without a girlfriend
- 15 years since my first computer
- 15 years since my first CD player (still use them, just can't do a switch over to digital media)
- 8 years since my 1st exhibition
- 15 yers since my 1st proper job

What does this year has in store? Well, I will be going to Nine Inch Nails concert (finally after such a long wait), I will be doing another car trip (London, Bilbao, Barcelona, Marseille, Nice, Monte Cralo, Florence, Venice, Igoumenitsia, Thessalloniki, Istanbul, Kapadokia, Trabzon, Batumi, Tbilisi), I will also be going to a first wedding outside of my country, I will be gong to Dubai for the first time as well, I will also be getting my permant visa to stay in UK (one step closer to citizenship) and... I guess that is it for now.

Share something, anything will do!!!
