Her feelings about what she sees daily on her Instagram feed were made by Eliana Chrysikopoulou.

The journalist who, as it sounds, will join Natalia Germanou’s team after Eleni Menegaki’s decision to stay off TV, spends most of her summer with her daughters in Tinos.

“In general, I’ve grown a bit tired of Instagram, because I think there’s nothing authentic here anymore,” she writes in her post and continues:

“Nothing reminds me of the pictures we took to capture our summers in the pre-like era, when we weren’t shooting bras and legs and photogenic landscapes and self-portraits, when we were basically taking pictures of our Significant Others.
The frames weren’t perfect, the moments were.

Now countless small photoshootings take place in every country, on every beach, in every alley. We are mini-models and mini-photographers together, we make sure the frame is right, the light is soft, the pose is flattering and frankly I’m unbearably tired of the semi-spontaneous “take me out” as we sit nice-nice here in the taverna, but sit down first let’s disappear the bottles, take and the leftovers, sit down to untangle the wool and turn from the good profile.’

All beauty – beauty and carelessness nothing.

And in the midst of all this general fatigue, there came an otherworldly moment: looking at photos from users on the beach by clicking on location, I came across this one, uploaded by (unknown to me) @elena_karasavva. In the background is me, entering the water in my arms with Victoria.

And this is the only 100% spontaneous, authentic, real photo of me you’ll see this summer, precisely because I had – finally – no awareness that a camera was taking me.

PS1: Elena, thank you for my best photo of the year
PS2: pulling the ones you love at an unsuspecting time
PS3: from tomorrow we return to our normal, semi-spontaneous schedule”
