Probably would have gone hungry on the flight from Istanbul to Chicago had the menu only been been in Turkish.  The food & wine on Turkish Airlines business class is outstanding.  And the tri-lingual menu is perfect for this week's challenge.

In the Turkish Airlines lounge, multiple screens were displaying news channels from around the world.  Thank goodness for BBC; it was the only channel I could read and understand.

Road to Taksim Square

Istanbul, Turkey (from the archives)

It was rainy in Istanbul when we were there 10 years ago.  Got caught in a storm but stopped to capture a street scene one evening with handheld long exposure.

Proud

Kadikoy, Turkey

Since I'm unable to get out and shoot photos during the pandemic, I'm pulling another photo from the archives to post.

This shopowner was very proud of his store, which was immaculate in a market area where you wouldn't often use that descriptor.

Fresh Catch

Another photo from the archives.

Street markets in Istanbul were prevalent.  Some had restaurants attached such that you could select your fish, they would cook it right up and bring it to your table.

Hey Mister...Will You Take My Picture?

Istanbul, Turkey (from the archives)

Usually when shooting in public places, you don't get this request.  I was a little taken aback in Istanbul when it came in one of the street markets.  He was a cute precocious kid and I obliged.  He loved the image in the camera LCD and thanked me.  I loved the experience.

Three Generations?

Kadikoy, Turkey

I am going back into the archives and working on photos using some new post-processing software plugins.

This shot was taken at the outdoor market in Kadikoy.  Three unlikely characters if not representing 3 generations.

Resigned

Kadikoy, Turkey

I am going back into the archives and working on photos using some new post-processing software plugins.

This shot was taken at the Ferry Terminal in Kadikoy awaiting a ferry back to Istanbul.  I recall the look of resignation on the gentleman's face performing the shoe shine, and the smugness of the guy getting the shoe shine.

White collar & blue collar on the ferry terminal plaza in Kadikoy, Istanbul.  There were many class and cultural intersections in Istanbul; this is just one.
