Favourite Random Images

I have been incredibly lucky with the people I have met in Turkey. This continued in Cappadocia in the form of Milka, an Argentinian who shares her time between ski instructing in Colorado, family & friends in Argentina and wandering the world. She is an exceptional photographer and inspired both Kim and myself to start thinking more about people, characters, angles and light, rather than being mesmerised by the landscape (although that remains pretty damn good).

I have been really enjoying a change in focus (sorry I couldn't help it) and, in that spirit, the photos below are some of my favourite pics from Turkey.





















In order they are: a boat yard in a village near Fethiye, Bascilica Cistern in Istanbul, Covered market in Canakkale, Sam (from the cruise), Kim Milka and Fharti (manager of Flintstone in Goreme), a couple of companions on an early morning walk in Fethiye, View of our boat from a castle near the sunken city of Kekova, Breakfast at Homeros in Selcuk, sunset over the Bascilica in Selcuk, Storks at sunset in Selcuk, fellow photographer from across the theatre at Hieropolis, and the last seven are markets, mountain bikes, moonrise, people and sunrise all in Goreme, Cappadocia.

There are, of course, many many more. This is just a taste of the nearly 1500 photos I have taken in Turkey!
