day 6 in Istanbul! by Niklas Lindskog

Here's a short report of day 6 of my Istanbul trip, Wednesday October 23rd.

* Me and Keef had a nice slow morning before walking along Istiklal Caddesi to Taksim Square, where we had arranged to meet Turkish street photographer, Canan, at noon.

* I know Canan from deviantart.com and we have met in Istanbul twice before, in 2015 and 2016.

Keef and Canan


* Canan suggested a tradional, cheap and very very popular place for lunch. I had a Turkish moussaka and shared a cople of salads with Keef. One of which was a lot like tortellini in yoghurt, maybe tastier than it sounds!

* We walked towards Sishane subway stop through alleys along Istiklal Caddesi and also on Itiklal itself.

* Took the subway and then a bus to the Balat district and started by having some tea or coffee.

* We spent maybe 4 hours shooting in Balat and then walked back to the Halic subway stop on the bridge over the Golden Horn. We said our goodbyes to Canan before we got on train, since we only went one stop and she went on almost to the end of the line.

Be well, everybody!
