My Fathers Olive Pits

I'm working on a personal project about my heritage. My grandfather was a photographer and I have a lovly old Rolleyflex that was his. Since my grandfather was partly greek and lived there with my grandmother, I decided to look up on Greece. Their economy has been a problem for a while now and I wanted to portray the situation and how it effects Greece. I traveled in 2016 to a greek island in the mediteranien called Samos, a place highly effected by the economic crises the country is going through. The olive trees on the island have been there for many ages and seen the changes many times before. I felt like they would be the perfect subject to portray, since they kinda tell by all the scars and marks what has happen before and what is happening now. They almost look like old faces, weathered and torn. Its still a work in progress I just wanted to get kinda like a feedback about what people think about it. All feedback is welcome=)
