I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.
I'm fallling in love with Istanbul through your photographs. Is this a paid assignment, or are you taking photos in the hope of selling them later (or both)?
I'm just in from the Princes Islands in the Marmara Sea but I need to reply to comments, so here goes ... as another 300 photographs download.
Catherine, I'm so glad you're enjoying Istanbul. This is all about a book we're putting together with friends who live here in the city. The money will hopefully come later, presently where stocking our Istanbul photo library and preparing the first book project.
He seemed like a lovely guy and gestured to us to come over when he noticed us trying to work out which shoe-shine guy to ask to clean shoes for this photography session. He does have a lovely smile, doesn't he Tara.
Thank you, Nihal and yes, we're having the best time. Princes Islands today ... STUNNING weather beautiful photographs hopefully.
