In the end, you realize that home isn't a place, it's the bonds you create with everything and everyone around you. Home is a hand to hold, under a starry sky. Anywhere can be home, anyone can be home. Go out there, find someone and create your own. Thanks for following along this past week. Postcards from home is an art community project that brings people together to reflect, create and send a postcard on the idea of home. I’ll continue sharing @axelatticus. Please do send your own Postcards and tell us what home means to you. I'd love to see and read them. Have a good life. :) #postcardsfromhome #ifyouleave #phroom #burnmagazine #photozine #wanders #indiependentmag #thinkverylittle #explorediary #portbox #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #imaginarymagnitude #hylasmag #thevisualvogue #oftheafternoon #n8zine #dazedandexposed #takemagazine #unvaeljournal #nightscene #taintedmag #nightnight #lekkerzine #ourmag #etczine #stellaremag #nowherediary #noisemag #spektrmag https://www.instagram.com/p/BpplTOKH9Yb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i8fjp5hpoimb

Eventually there will come a time, when you'll feel the need to escape. The weight of everything around you, will get more and more heavy. Maybe you'll watch the birds, on a sweet sunset and wish you had wings, to fly away with them. There are plains, trains, ships and cars, that can take you anywhere these days. Still, you just can't bring yourself, to do it. Your luggage gets too big with time. There are things that hold you down. Things like family, friends, assets, connections, career, that park you hang out every afternoon or even that old, dirty rooftop. The more you get attached to your home, the harder you can start over. So you go back to your apartment, listen to some music while you fall asleep and wake up the other day, to start over again. @axelatticus #postcardsfromhome #ifyouleave #hylasmag #thinkverylittle #taintedmag #casadiringhiera #classicsmagazine #missnothingmag #unvaeljournal #spektrmag #noisemag #lekkerzine #ourmag #oftheafternoon #oaksfieldmag #takemagazine #gladtobesadmag #etczine #fisheyelemag #espritmag #explorediary #portbox #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #imaginarymagnitude #ig_greece #intercollective #archivecollectivemag #subjectivelyobjective #kodizes https://www.instagram.com/p/BppM1b_nyLU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c11qijlwemgn

Lately I've been walking a lot, on my way home. I take the beach route. The bus feels more and more asphyxiating, I need the oxygen and the fresh air. This building is my mark. When I see it, I start heading upwards to reach my home. I don't know who lives there, but I have formed a connection with it. Whenever I see it in the distance, I instantly know I am almost home. @axelatticus #postcardsfromhome #ifyouleave #phroom #photozine #wanders #indiependentmag #thinkverylittle #explorediary #portbox #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #imaginarymagnitude #hylasmag #espritmag #etczine #nowherediary #subjectivelyobjective #nightscene #n8zine #lekkerzine #ourmag #oftheafternoon #oaksfieldmag #takemagazine #missnothingmag #classicsmagazine #abandonedgallery #framez #urban_greece #ig_thessaloniki https://www.instagram.com/p/BpouA8KH09f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13l0r8luywrt6

The greenhouse in my family's farm.Blue, green, red everything mixed, like some sort of painting. Much like our emotions, they create some sort of weird explosion and then like water drops, stream down to the soil. It's always important to remember your roots. It's like the ground here seems more compatible to your feet, makes you stand more firm and certain. No matter the past, good or bad, we should never forsaken our first home. If anything, we should try and embrace our history with it, for it is the place, where our roots and the person we are today began. @axelatticus #postcardsfromhome #espritmag #gamutmag #n8zine #takemagazine #unvaeljournal #ifyouleave #phroom #photozine #wanders #indiependentmag #thinkverylittle #explorediary #portbox #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #hylasmag #oftheafternoon #oaksfieldmag #abandonedgallery #missnothingmag #classicsmagazine #taintedmag #noisemag #spektrmag #lekkerzine #ourmag #etczine #stellaremag #rentalmag https://www.instagram.com/p/BpnA5fhgU7s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qy8eh2rf5f4b

This old building is the port of Thessaloniki. That is my view every morning, when I arrive to my workplace. After a rough time, I found myself wanting to spend more time there and less home. A place to devote into something and take your mind off negative situations. It became a place to be at ease, a second home. @axelatticus #postcardsfromhome #espritmag #observationmag #gamutmag #ig_thessaloniki #n8zine #dazedandexposed #takemagazine #unvaeljournal #ifyouleave #phroom #photozine #wanders #indiependentmag #thinkverylittle #explorediary #portbox #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #imaginarymagnitude #hylasmag #etczine #nowherediary #subjectivelyobjective #ourmag #ig_greece #abandonedgallery #missnothingmag #framez #classicsmagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/BpjnN0ZHqJk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fn4o5qvih0q3

This is a collection of images I took during my not so busy days at work. Life started to get back on track. I felt blessed to have another home. I still do and I'll always see it as some sort of shelter. Or at least the closest thing to home besides my own. @axelatticus #postcardsfromhome #ifyouleave #explorediary #portbox #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #imaginarymagnitude #hylasmag #onbooooooom #etczine #nowherediary #subjectivelyobjective #soundvision_mag #kodizes #stellaremag #observationmag #phroom #photozine #wanders #indiependentmag #thinkverylittle #taintedmag #casadiringhiera #classicsmagazine #missnothingmag #unvaeljournal #spektrmag #noisemag #lekkerzine #ourmag https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpkj1O_HlU4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2y543gdu8jpj

I worked a few jobs and left all of them, as the environment got heavy with time. Finding a workspace, that you can relate and adjust is essential to a healthy way of life. I mean it's 8 hours of your every day life. I strongly believe that if you typically have two homes, the one in your hometown where you were born and the one you moved after, your workplace should be considered, a third home. Slowly I started to grow bonds with every little thing there. These blinds looked old and dusty during the day, but as the night fell, the yellow light from the outside building, transformed them into something beautiful. @axelatticus #postcardsfromhome #ifyouleave #hylasmag #thinkverylittle #taintedmag #casadiringhiera #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #imaginarymagnitude #thevisualvogue #oftheafternoon #oaksfieldmag #takemagazine #unvaeljournal #n8zine #gladtobesadmag #etczine #fisheyelemag #nowherediary #subjectivelyobjective #lekkerzine #ig_thessaloniki #ig_greece #ourmag #lucecurated #gupmagazine #noisemag #explorediary #missnothingmag #classicsmagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkQTzvnMIc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c92g3a0xwpo3

I've always found that window fascinating. The view is just rooftops that go on and on. I wake up every morning, make myself a cup of coffee and just stare at them. It gives me a sense of serenity, my every day routine. I've taken countless shots there. This particular is when I first moved in, curious about the world and my surroundings. @axelatticus #postcardsfromhome #espritmag #explorediary #nowherediary #oftheafternoon #hylasmag #stellaremag #ifyouleave #thinkverylittle #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #oftheafternoon #noisemag #n8zine #classicsmagazine #abandonedgallery #casadiringhiera #missnothingmag #ig_thessaloniki #ig_greece #spektrmag #lekkerzine #ourmag #etczine #oaksfieldmag #takemagazine #unvaeljournal #observationmag #gamutmag #gladtobesadmag https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfCUNdn0Ms/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aqoy9xd0bz72

Hello, this is Axel @axelatticus. I'm a photographer from Thessaloniki, near his 30s and I'll be taking over @postcardsfromhomenet this week to share with you, what does the word "home" really mean for me. This photo is the view from my rooftop in Thessaloniki. Living in the same dirt city for almost 10 years, I've grown an affection for worn out buildings, gray antennas and silent rooftops. An open hiding space from the crowds and noise of every day life. I found myself going more often up there wherever I was feeling stressed or just under the weather. With time, the view from this rooftop became the closest thing I could call home. This will be a journey through 3 photographs per day, from various stages of my life and how this scenery looked at the time. Thank you. #postcardsfromhome #espritmag #observationmag #gamutmag #ig_thessaloniki #ig_greece #urban_greece #lensculture #etczine #nowherediary #explorediary #portbox #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #imaginarymagnitude #hylasmag #wanders #indiependentmag #thinkverylittle #ifyouleave #framez #takemagazine #oftheafternoon #oaksfieldmag #classicsmagazine #abandonedgallery #casadiringhiera #missnothingmag #unvaeljournal https://www.instagram.com/p/BpeZnH7HUzq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z5249hjxcx4r

I found this dead butterfly on the cold ground, next to a rusty, metalic box in my balcony. Winter came and brought along the reminder, that we can't all endure the frost. I picked it up, mesmerized by its beauty and placed it above the box to take the picture. How can a beautiful color pallette, embrace the image of a dead insect? I thought it's strange. Like how I have filled my house with tons of Interesting things but it still felt empty. Life was missing. @axelatticus #postcardsfromhome #explorediary #portbox #somewheremagazine #photocinematica #imaginarymagnitude #hylasmag #thevisualvogue #lensculture #etczine #nowherediary #subjectivelyobjective #soundvision_mag #ifyouleave #thinkverylittle #gladtobesadmag #ourmag #phroom #photozine #wanders #indiependentmag #paperjournalmag #unvaeljournal #ig_thessaloniki #ig_greece #lekkerzine #theoutbound #archivecollectivemag #onbooooooom #stellaremag https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfmZ8XHxcS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9xeecozsnq7w

Tzivaeri is a word of Arabic origin and it means treasure. It's a series of portraits that aims to narrate the ambitions and sacrifices that had to be made in order for those people to get closer to achieving their dreams away from home.

This is Jeremy Knowles signing off from my takeover of the Postcards From Home account this week, where I've been exploring my feelings of home through work from my 2014 series '48 Wingfield Drive'. 'Each morning at 6am my dad would take Badger for a walk. I would always try to join him when I could. Through most-covered mornings when the grass still kept hold of the previous night's dew, Badger and my dad began to explore their new home.' @jeremyknowles.londonberlin #sheep #wales #landscape #walk #countryside #greatoutdoors #uk #country #nature #wild #funny #animals #farm #blackandwhite #analog #film #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #mediumformat #travel #explore #coincedence (στην τοποθεσία Dolau, Powys, United Kingdom)
