Like some people, some cities are more photogenic than others and I believe İstanbul is one of them. It continuously offers you the colors of the present and the past. It's always a joy to hang around with a camera. You may never now what it will reveal to you. Maybe a forgotton story from the past or a glimpse of the day to day struggle...
Today I am posting some magnificent photos from this beautiful city. My friend Guven İlter kindly accepted to share his photos in Turquoise Diaries.. I have been aware of his musical talents but to find out his photographs on his facebook page was a delightful surprise. His web page will soon be ready and I will post the adress from here..
Thank You, Guven.....
Guven is brilliant behind the lens, his photos are glorious. The second one from the bottom with the yellow ball is stunning, I have never seen water photographed that magnificiently.

ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone, especially Aysegul...
ReplyDeleteTo answer a few questions, I'm Turkish, I play keyboards, mostly piano and B3 organ, in a blues and soul band. I usually shoot street photography, although I'm sometimes spotted shooting landscapes. One day I'll have a web site I'm happy with, get a higher percentage of "keeper" photographs, and play at the Blue Note Club. I don't have a clue which one will come first, if ever...
Thanks again and stay cool...
Guven
the photos of Istanbul are wonderful. thanks for sharing. Istanbul is such a wonderful city. Thanks for your comments on my site about the photos from my photography tour to Vermillion Cliffs and Slot Canyons. I have many more coming up and the slot canyon photos are truly amazing. It was quite a trip. And good luck with the new puppy. This is the time that is hard to raise the puppy so they don't chew or go to the bathroom in the house.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of the beauty of Istanbul and Turkey. I hope to visit your find country one of these days - like when all my kids are through school. In the meantime, please continue to share the beauty.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful photos!!!!
