Modal Istanbul

During my ten days in Istanbul, I walked the streets, took the bus, the tramway, and the ferry. I didn’t do anything but wander around getting lost. I didn’t have any vision or any purpose – I just knew I would use a 50mm lens and shoot in color. The rest was about how I felt at this time of year in this particular place in the world.

The result appears to be a kind of modal piece, whose theme would be the city itself and my lens the tonic providing me a constant distance to feel the city’s pulsations.

This is about improvisation and chance, this is about light and colors, this is about ten ordinary days in Istanbul, Turkey.
