About the Book
"A love letter to Crete"
This is a lover’s journey — a dance of poetry and image, woven from the light and soul of Crete. Each page whispers of snow-dusted mountains, rugged forests, and waters so blue they seem unreal. But beyond the land, it is the quiet kindness of the people, the warmth of encounters, that breathes life into these pages. Through his lens and his words, Ben Jacob invites you to wander deeper — to feel the calm, the beauty, and the small moments that often go unseen. This is not just a book; it is an offering, a love letter to Crete and to the art of noticing.
About the Author
"The Journey of Ben Jacob"
Ben Jacob is an artist and graphic designer whose heart beats between worlds — from Australia to Europe, and now to the island of Crete he calls home. For him, Crete is a Garden of Eden: a place of ancient stories, abundant nature, and a stillness that nourishes the soul. Using only his iPhone, Ben captures the fine threads that make up this island’s tapestry — the textures, the colorus, the quiet gestures of daily life. Ben brings together photography and poetry to create works that speak softly but stay long in the heart. This book is his most personal offering yet: a journey of connection, reflection, and love.
