Digistanbul

I thought i can as well blog in English again. Although it is much more convenient to do it in German, English is much more inclusive, and maybe it 'pays' in the long run.

So, today I feature the rest of the images taken in Istanbul.



this one sums up alot of things: deep religiosity in some parts of the city, pidgeons as metaphor for the cities lively athmosphere, the flag on a shopping bag, the whole setting quite telling for the old parts.



on the ferries which have not been covered on the recent trip; did it 2 years earlier.




another quite telling shot - Modern Turkey





inside one of the waiting halls, Asian side



outsinde one of these



another worker



a shoeblack. With Gestaltpsychologie in mind i'd say he chose quite a good place to do busines.





business boy





manic girl



a passer by





a break; i certainly like the manual focus of the pen, the 100% crop of this shot is amazing


Back to Atasehir, i spotted the cart i jumped upon an hour later; you can find the image taken from out of the cart on my site in the "Streets of Istanbul" folder (img.nr.3)

the only person i met there who didn't drive a car





a supposedly highly original marketing action


one of the Gecekondu huts


and a nice garden i found


simply a nice structure


sweet nothings.


and a Granny on the phone


back into the city, the street photo classic


an elderly man advising a youngster


two dogs communicating


nice sculpture


and a shot thatworks very well for me although i cannot put my finger on it


inside the old train station


and the Aya Sofia (which didnt impress me as much as it should have)


a man inside the grand Bazaar - i love how he simply didnt take any notice of me



nice street art





nature reserve



ideally enjoyed with raki



concrete bags turned stones on Princess Islands


and a chef.



have a nice week
