Hello!
My name is Helena Maratheftis, and I curate TOP 5.
Each TOP 5 simply consists of my TOP 5 images in various categories. I choose a theme, and then scour the internet (and my photos) for 5 images which best fit that theme.
I began this blog in 2009, as a way of sharing my own photography. However, after two years, I needed to branch out. As of January 2012, TOP 5 has included art and photography sourced from all over the internet. (My own photos often serve as inspiration for a blog post, so you will still see them here.)
I really enjoy making TOP 5s, because I love everything to be colourful , creative and well-organised. Ha! I hope you like looking through them.
