Mr. Giakoumis, Rizokarpaso, Cyprus.
From my ongoing series, Free Besieged.
I photographed Mr. Giakoumis in Rizokarpaso, where he lived with his wife in one of the last houses at the edge of the village.
He was part of the small Greek Cypriot community who remained in their homes after the war and division of Cyprus in 1974, known as the enclaved.
Mr. Giakoumis passed away a few years ago. This portrait is my way of remembering him and the place he called home. broncolor official worldwide
