This door detail was photographed in Avanos, a small town in the Cappadocia region of central Turkey. The bright colors and old wood of houses and doors in these small towns are often beautiful and always intriguing. The splintered wood, tooled brass lock and handle, and encroaching shadow give this piece a sense of mystery for me.

I saw this painting hanging in a little Turkish restaurant in Menlo Park, CA that is relatively unknown. I thought it was out of place (near the restroom). I appreciated it and took this shot to make it last longer (Oh, I accented it with more gold highlights and repaired some of the wear & tear, too). :)

This door handle was photographed in the Turkish town of Beypazari, settled in the hills of the Central Anatolian plateau. The town is full of centuries-old wooden Ottoman houses, some restored and some still in their original state. This door obviously hasn’t seen any restoration work, but to me the faded paint and decaying wood only add to its fascination.

Some things you can hardly believe when you see them. I went to school as a structural engineer, and I have to say I’m amazed this house is standing. I went to some pains to make sure the image is vertical, and it’s definitely pretty close. So yes, that lamppost on the left really is leaning like that. This is just a scene captured while on the back streets of Nallihan in central Anatolia. Sometimes I feel like every door I see has a story behind it worth telling. If you look closely there’s a padlock keeping this one shut. What we’ll probably never know is … why?

ISTANBUL – Around Yeni Cami, Eminönü As I promised to a Turkish friend of mine, I want to add a comment to this photo. / Even if Turkey usually looks “exotic” to a Western visitor, this country is also a very complex reality where everything changes from a place to another, even in the same city. So in Istanbul you can find many scarfed women as well as many modern girls wearing the same clothes of their similars in the rest of Europe, USA or Australia. Mini skirts are certainly less than scarfs, but they are there too :) And more in general, a metropolis like Istanbul summarize all the different souls of Turkey and people change as you move from a place to another. / So even if it’s normal that whatever is foreign to our habits and customs looks exotic and so interesting, Turkey is not only scarfed women, bazars and minarets that most of photographic reportage by any tourist and many professionals show you. / Anyway, I find this image quite representative of a few things: / for what I know, most of boys are dressed up like that in celebration of their circumcision, that is something traditional even more than religious. / And his mother is dressed typically as that part of Turkish women that consider themselves pious: / Islamic veil (but keep in mind that simple foulards are also very popular and their use comes from the tradition rather than from religion) and above all, very long dress or coat down to the feet. / ______________________ Click here for other photos from my Turkey 1st series Links to my other works: / NATURE / PORTRAITS / TRAVELLING / VARIOUS

The interior of the magnificent Hagia Sophia, or “Holy Wisdom,” in Istanbul. Originally built as a cathedral in the days of the Byzantine Empire, it was later converted to a mosque with the arrival of the Ottoman Empire, finally to become a museum after the foundation of the modern nation of Turkey. Inside, remnants of all three eras are visible: Byzantine mosaics of Christian saints, huge medallions with Arabic calligraphy naming prophets of Islam, and an open floor crowded with European tourists of every creed or none at all. This view shows the main floor as seen from a railing in the upper gallery. At the opposite side of the building, the lower and upper galleries can be seen, below a wall of windows where Byzantine mosaics are still being uncovered and restored.

Hidden for years under the streets of Istanbul’s historic Sultanahmet district, the waters of the Basilica Cistern lapped undisturbed against the base of Corinthian marble columns. This Roman-era engineering feat was lost to public knowledge when the city was taken over by the Ottoman Turks, and remained unknown until citizens of the modern Turkish republic reported catching fish through holes in their basements. That was just a few decades ago; today carp still swim through the water at the base of the pillars.

Sightseeing until Iftar… in Alanya (Turkey)... Iftar (Arabic: إفطار), refers to the evening meal for breaking the daily fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan. Iftar during Ramadan is often done as a community, with Muslims gathering to break their fast together. Iftar is done right after Maghrib (sunset) time. Traditionally, a date is the first thing to be consumed during Iftar when the fast is broken.

I was at the coffee festival last year when I saw this gorgeous girl in her traditional Turkish outfit. I could not resist photographing her. She kept looking into the camera and I really wanted her to look away. At one stage after passing literally hundreds of people to get closer to her, as my zoom was not long enough, I stood right infront of her without her realising. She looked away at some belly dancing when I managed to quickly capture this shot.

These men were enjoying tea on a slow afternoon in Ulus, the old downtown part of Turkey’s capital city Ankara. Just up the street is a row of shops selling wool carpets and down the street is a row of copper workers, but right here there’s nothing to think about but the tea.
