Turkish Media Spotlight: Nuri Bilge Ceylan

I just became enlightened to the photographic work of Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Ceylan is famous in Turkey for his filmmaking, but his Turkey Cinemascope photograph series features absolutely breathtaking panoramic views . It makes me yearn to see so much more of Turkey than I’ve already seen. I love how these photos have a surreal colourised quality to them (I’m sure one of you will explain to me how that’s done). As a cold-weather kind of person, I particularly like the snowy scenes, especially since it lays to rest the common misbelief that Turkey is a perpetually hot place. Link
