azzo, jacksparrow - Thank you both for expressing your interest in this picture. I did in fact consider the exact same crop alternately presented here but decided for the original uncropped composition in order to convey the elements of urban transit: minibus, walking, and the public bus in the left frame background.

 

It's personal in a way because these, and others, are my means of serendipitously moving all around Istanbul taking my pictures.

Jack - Thanks, I see that you got some of what I find as meaning in this photo. That it is chaotic. My pictures hopefully convey Istanbul, its people and places, as seen through the eyes and camera of a foreigner living here, not a tourist.

 

Istanbul is a city of almost 17 million people, go anywhere with a camera to take pictures and it will seem chaotic, however if you look you find order, how it just seems to work. For example: When you take a taxi somewhere in the city it always seems like you are in a chase scene in an action movie, but if you just sit back, relax and pay attention you become aware of just how smoothly it just all works.

 

In the same way I pay attention to the people and life here and attempt to express my wonder in how it all works within the context of the image.
