A whim well-executed

Thursday, here I come

Last week I threw caution to the wind and flew up to Istanbul for an all-nighter. Ben l’Oncle Soul does not often play small rooms, so I had to take advantage of the fact that he was at Babylon. Wonderful venue, wonderful music, wonderful night.

The Master

The master's home

I couldn’t resist stopping by Ara Güler’s place, like a crazy stalker. If you’re not familiar with Güler’s work, it’s time to get with it.

Love

I’m really glad these pieces don’t get covered up. I think they add to the character of the city.

Interior inspiration

Colours

Flowers

For no particular reason, I’ve taken a recent interest in the interior design of homes. Not designing interiors myself, you understand— just appreciating good home design as an art form, the home as an installation piece. I love it when people make their living spaces beautiful.

Golden Orange

Altın Portakal

The parade for the closing day of the annual Golden Orange Film Festival, the largest and most important film festival in Turkey.


Silver Maiden

Silver Knight

Dream state

There were a lot of celebrities there, but my favourite part was the silver people. So dreamy.

Under the bridge

Clips and bows

Sometimes I forget how nice-looking some of our bridges are.


We've been waiting a long time

Yes, thinking of autumn, of course.

At the fountains

Peacock fountain

I have always loved these fountains at the Republic Square, and especially the peacock art installation. The best part is that the peacocks are moveable, so every once in a while they get moved into a different configuration.
