Oh Istanbul....

My new Nikon camera was an early Christmas gift from my sister.I love photography although i am barely good at it. I have a facination with how things interact with each other..light..buildings... moments the best photographs i took were ironically taken in Turkey 10 years ago when i travelled here as a student in my final year of University. The photographs hung proudly in the halls of my university..i wonder if any are still there ? Photography was my hobby at weekends i would spend hours in the darkroom. A love that i had honestly long forgotten i hope to welcome this old friend back into my life however i am very old school, isnt that a weird thing to say when you are only 30 ?. Now though it is a digital world....I have of course taken plenty of photographs over the past 20 years.. Auto style...
and so to Istanbul.. all my pictures are moody and dark.
