Photo book: Istanbul

Undecided between the People, Street, or Travel forum as it kinda hits all of them: my new photo book on Istanbul.

 

The e-book and its first 30 odd pages give away the gist. Nevermind the really bad formatting in the preview, I got completely software-punk'd... (the actual e-book looks clean, though the text format is still off. Grr...)

 

Still, I hope the pictures do the talking. All shot with the M9; lenses 21, 35 and 50.

I can't get the book to open.

 

BTW: You'll get more people clicking through if you post one or two of the images directly here to lure us into clicking through (after Blub works again).

 

Odd. Hope it will work again. I had posted a few of the pictures used in the book here, previously. The first have is all b/w, the 2nd part is all color. Here's two:

Hi Mark, It isn't that the original posting didn't work -- just that people are reluctant to click through to external sources... I have nada look and really enjoyed seeing these. Oddly (oddly for me, I mean) I enjoyed the city- and landscapes rather more than i did the 'people' photographs. I also felt the online blurb book software didn't always do your pictures justice.

Makes sense I guess. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate. On to new photography now.. :-)

Mark,

As a native of the City, I find your photographs capture well its complexity and diversity at once. I could see the B&W pictures and they join well the "Istanbul school", probably mastered by Ara Güler, in a mix of people , places , lights , shades and expressive ordinary events with perceived contrasts.

The adjunction of poems enriches and reinforces the images, and, put aside some "mise en page" limitations, I believe it is a nice success to help the people "encounter" the City for the first time.
