Truck with an attitude!

It is clearly smiling! It is alive, isn't it? When I turned my back, I am sure he began to move!

While leaving summer...

I noticed there are so many things to be missed...

Seeds of a palm tree

October 15, 2009


I was amazed by the beauty of these seeds. Their texture and color were incredible and I guess timing was great to shoot them because lights and shadows were perfect just the way they should be...

I become a cliché when I say "I'll be back!" just like Schwarzenegger

Do not get angry! I know, I know! It went way beyond of neglecting this blog. It is clearly forgotten. I have my reasons but I guess the main reason is that it felt like a regular job; I mean taking photographs... It used to be fun and I wanted to wait till it becomes fun again! I can't say I start to shoot regularly. Let me put it this way; photography and me -I mean we, are flirting...

Here you can see it with your own eyes. However; this is not a digital camera. This is a old fashion SLR. I know they are out but I can't myself loving them...

I hope my digital photos are on the way...

Love you all,

S.

The Cutest Dogs...

October 29th, The Republic Day

November 4, 2008


October 29th in Istanbul, Bagdat Street. We are celebrating our Republic Day....

(Wikipedia- On October 29, 1923, the Turkish constitution was amended and Turkey became a republic. This formally declared the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Republic Day (Cumhuriyet Bayramı) is celebrated throughout Turkey every year. Commemorative events usually begin in the afternoon on the previous day. )


On the Road

This is not Istanbul. This is the road back (from a trip) to Istanbul!

Ice cream guys

October 31, 2008


I was stuck in the traffic as you can see it and there were these guys who are selling ice cream to those in need! :)

If you are curious, I didn't buy anything. I couldn't trust it.

As if it is smiling and crying at the same time...

A Mosque

I don't know its name but looks very quiet and peaceful with lights and shadows...

Strange Bug

This is my husband's hand capturing poor little guy/gal but it looks very calm and happy, don't you think? As if it is smiling?

Trojan Horse (not the computer virus)

May 23, 2008


This is not about Istanbul but I want to show you guys some pictures from my trip. Truva - Troy as you know it- is one of the places I visited. I am sure you know the myth about Trojan War between Greeks and Trojans. Troy is in Çanakkale - Turkish city. There are lots of original archaeological remainings of Troy cities of different archaeological levels. However, this horse is symbolical. I don't know exactly when it is built but it gives you the great feeling of ancient times.

You can see me in it looking from the window and I guess that makes me Greek soldier, huh?
