I'm Nicholas Raineri

Went on a photoshoot through downtown Naperville and got some good shots from it!

Shots from my summer at Warner Camp in MI

Spent the day at the beach in Loutsa.

Athens hosted the 2004 Olympics. They built many complexes to host the different events however they have done a terrible job at upkeeping these areas. 13 years later signs and fliers still read "Athens 2004" across everything. I snuck into one of these abandoned complexes and took some pictures of it. Its surreal being in a place that was the center of the sporting world just 13 years ago but now it is nothing but a mass of concrete in the concrete jungle that is Athens. Hope you enjoy- (In a few photos I saturated the blue to cope for the sun fading).

I spent the weekend in Warsaw learning about the history of the city and the people in it. In honor of their history I decided to create a little black and white project of pictures around the city.

From March 22-26 my class drove up through the country of albania stopping at cities such as Sarande, Korce, and Tirana. It was one of the most memorable trips of my life and one of the most beautiful countries of my life. Trip video to follow.

This is an ongoing project. Various abandoned buildings and lots throughout Greece and the world will be photographed and the results published here. Hope you enjoy!

Took a day to drive to the old city of Corinth and the city of Nafplio to the west of Athens.

Theology class took a weekend trip up to the UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site of Meteora in Northern Greece. During its prime, there were 24 functioning monasteries with about 600 monks and nuns on top of these pillars. World renown for their beauty, only 6 monasteries are open today. We took full advantage of the views.

Throughout my 2 years living in Kandern, Germany a few pictures come to mind with all of the memories.

A few shots from my spring break trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I took a trip to Mykonos, an island off the coast of Greece for a weekend to take photos during the off=season.

During the christmas season of 2016-2017 I was able to wander the streets of Paris, France and capture some of the beauty that gave it the reputation as the city of love.

On the weekend of November 17 of every year in Athens, students take to the streets for the weekend rioting and protesting against government abuses in the past. It culminates on the 17th where students march toward the US Embassy. This year it coincided with the visit of US President Barack Obama which brought out the anti-american resentment in full force. Things got violent after dark and I was there to capture some of it. My camera lens was blurry for some of it due to the teargas that was hanging in the streets.

At a small camp in the French Alps just south of Grenoble, memories are made by a group of close friends each year.
