here are some monochrome pictures I took whiles staying in Turkey. It had been a while since I had travelled in the Orient - from waking up to the sound of the Imam chanting, to the red sunsets, the impressions I gathered were beautiful - I tried capturing these impressions with my lens.

the separation of the sexes is very obvious in these countries. none the less, I found these three women laughing away a beautiful and comedic sight.

I stood there, and I found the scene to have a "caspar david friedrich" like quality. a sad romanticism.
