Istanbul 7 - Fallen Team



What a rad team. I was walking near the Blue Mosque and saw someone carrying a skateboard. Then I noticed that a bunch of guys had skateboards. Then I recognized one of them, Jack Curtin. We went to the same school for a couple of years. Nice to see a familiar face. Everyone was really gracious and I walked away impressed with how they all carried themselves.

The stained glass was in the ceiling of a Turkish Bath House.

Istanbul 5




Older folks doing what they do.

Istanbul 4


Nice tulips all over the place.

Istanbul 3


I don't grow a thick beard but I didn't shave for 10 days and I went in for a straight razor shave. It felt nice. Thanks.

Istanbul 2





A little bright. The woman who developed my photos gave me a lecture. She was disappointed that I didn't get darker images. But here is Istanbul, kids marching, little girls being friends and a bird watching over her home.

ISTANBUL



Here's the first image I give from my time in Istanbul. I have a manual camera and it still takes me a while to focus so only eyes that want to be seen are captured.
