Hello good people!
First, I just want to thank all of my new followers for tuning into the blog – you rock! And of course, for those of you who have been following this blog for a while, I am most grateful 🙂
A few more pics of Istanbul, including the Basilica Cistern. Frankly, my photos don’t do this place justice because I had to use the flash in order to see the pillars. If you visit, you will see what I mean – it’s hauntingly beautiful and perhaps a wee bit creepy.

Where have you been lately?

I still haven’t made my way through all the photos I took in Turkey, but these are a few people shots that I like. I almost never shoot people (though I sometimes want to – ha ha ha!), favoring architecture over humans.
Can I take your money in exchange for a carpet?
That Simit looks good!
I managed to get some wedding photography in as well:
And this group of women that I keep referring to as gypsies, even though I’m sure they’re not:
And because cats are everywhere in Istanbul, I somehow managed to get a pic of this cat’s arse:
More to come… at some point 🙂
