You would not believe how often we experience traveling musicians. It’s pretty much a weekly occurrence.

I can’t believe this crazy weather, but I love it.

With weather more like late October!

Taken from Barış Yönter’s stock collection— lots of beautiful photos of Antalya there.

That’s not Photoshop; Antalya is actually made of lava until September.

I don’t even know why they bother predicting highs under 40°, because we always crash right through and keep going. And it’s not even July yet. It wouldn’t surprise me if we saw 50° again this year, like we did two years ago. We’ll see. Fingers crossed we don’t.

Oh, and we never got anywhere close to that low last night, either. We bottomed out at 31°.

We get quite a lot of air traffic over our house at night, and last night I discovered that it makes for some pretty interesting long exposure abstracts. I’ll have to experiment some more with camera movement and suche, but I think I can get some cool results with a bit of practice.

You can have a look at the original (i.e. huge) version of this photo here.

Tonic.com has published a fantastic story about the merits of crowdfunding sites like RocketHub, and Hidden Anatolia is one of the featured projects. It gives me a lot of confidence to know that major web hubs are picking up on the importance of crowdfunding, and thereby acknowledging the importance of independent art. It’s a great article, and it’ll only take you a minute or two to read it (I’ve heard you’re a pretty fast reader). Link

Just a friendly reminder that the clock is ticking on the Hidden Anatolia project, so if you’ve had it in the back of your mind to get in there and become a part of it, now would be a great time! Come on, you’ve got nothing else going on right at this moment— it only takes a minute to help fuel the project, fueling levels begin at just one dollar, you get great rewards for fueling at any level, and best of all, you get to be a patron of independent art! Check it out and fuel, fuel, fuel!
