I apologize for almost the year long absence, but I was [insert excuse here].
I have just returned from a trip to Istanbul and will be posting the images from this batch over the next couple of weeks.
I never do touristy things when I travel for many reasons, but one of the biggest is that tourists sights usually mean just buildings. But in Istanbul, I spent the first few days doing all of the touristy things and I was richly rewarded with such endless spectacle.
Amazing.

Love this shot. Nice angle that I’ve never seen before. I like looking through all the people and guessing what they were thinking.
