Twentysomething
October 2006. YupNo and I wandered around the old walled town of Antalya and stumbled onto a shaded square with a couple of tables and a few women sitting around benches chatting. Let's stop for a coffee, she said. Ok, I said. Wearied legs whimpered their cases and

Gustave at the age of 28 goes through exactly what I'm going through... it's comforting in a sort of masochistic way, but then again .. anyone else sick of doing what you're supposed to be doing?

Just posted selected photos from Turkey.. mainly of Istanbul and Cappadocia. I love slide film! Cafes, the Mediterranean, hikes, great food – man I miss that country!

Some photos were saved! Most of them were ruined from a crappy developer, but thank goodness for my absent-mindedness.. I had forgotten some rolls in my bag.. will be posting more on Flickr soon.

I'm going crazy (in a good way). Back in Istanbul and it's gorgeous here in December. All the lights are out.. really cool cause with all the old castles and mosques and acqueducts here, the lights (different colors, mind you) really make an impression. Kind of

Grounded flights, delays.. and again mass confusion as the officials don't care to notify passengers and relatives that their flights are canceled or delayed – sometimes upwards to 6 or 7 hours. The reason? A lot of planes don't have adequate radar equipment to find the runway through the fog.
