day 9 in Istanbul! by Niklas Lindskog

Hi!

Here's a short report of day 9 of my Istanbul trip, Saturday, October 26th.

* It was Keef's last day of shooting and we went to the bird market a little bit northeast of Balat. It turned out to be very small.

* On the bus there, we had passed the old Roman aqueduct, where there is a small district with a lot of butchers shops. So we got the bus again in the opposite direction and rode a few stops to get there.

* After shooting sheep's heads and intestines and also pumpkins and of course people, we walked down the hill towards the area west of the spice bazaar. This area is full of alleys with lots and lots of people on a Saturday. Nice light hitting spots here and there giving opportunities for special photos.

* We did the square at the spice bazaar and I showed a good triangle shot at Eminönu, before shooting again on the Galata bridge.

* There was a beautiful sunset and we got some tourist shots before walking up the hill to the flat.

* Keef had a little bit of the old travel fever, so I got out to the corner place and got us some pides (Turkish pizzas) to go for a simple dinner in the flat, while he finished his packing.

Take care, everybody!
