Boat

19 minutes past midnight on a Friday going into Saturday; walking home post working a photo gig and this colossus was staring right at me. Something mighty in the size of a boat in a drydock. The majesty of it all, being bathed in the light of a new day, a slight amber glow from the sun setting or possibly coming up in the north eastern sky.

Something so nonchalant in this photo that I come back to it again and again. Hungover, in Istanbul, about to venture out into an unknown city and explore things we’ve never experienced.

One of my many, many favorite moments in Istanbul was going out for a walk late on a Sunday night to find an authentic döner kebap, when we happened upon a guy being handed stuffed mussels one after another at the top of the metro station escalator. We couldn’t resist figuring out what was going on, as he was hoovering them down at a quick rate. It took all of a millisecond to understand what was going on when I tried one myself. This photo perfectly encapsulates the attitude of the Turkish people I met: provide for you a new experience, willingly pose for a photo, and smile knowing that they have something special going on in that ancient city.

This photo is one that comes from having your camera on your neck the entire day. I was at a gallery opening and was shooting mainly my friends and the people there when this subject was admiring a painting below and out of the frame to the right. What makes me so happy about this shot is the yellow face on the wall mirroring the subjects gaze. A serendipitous moment if there ever was one.
