Stuffed Mussels

I was so sick and busy. For this reason I had to put a long space again :). Also I couldn't print a new photograph. Therefore I am posting and old one.

It was taken at a beach in Istanbul which name is Menekşe. The English meaning of Menekşe is violet. What a cool name for beach :)

The man in the photograph was collecting mussels for cooking and selling stuffed mussels which is a popular street food in Istanbul. You can buy and eat almost every corner in Istanbul. It was a sunny and very cold winter day and man was inside of the sea. It is definitely a hard job. 

 The most thing I like in this photo is superposition of geometric lines and tone gradation changing. Here are the print details:

My Big Anxiety

I know, very very long time pasted away and I haven't post anything. I was very busy but this is not excuse for it. I just lost my faith to this blog. Anyway it is long story and I don't want to talk about this. Now I will give a chance to this blog in honor of new year. May be I can find my desire for this blog again.

Today I want to share a photo that hanged on my wall. I generally like photographs with multi-sections and there are some layers which I like in this photograph.

I can write so many words for every part in the photograph but I am only going to mention about my anxiety. I am checking one bird in the photograph every morning and evening. I have a fear that bird will escape. I am not kidding. I real have fear. Bird is located at the left top of the photograph and it is marching. Here is the bird and details of the print:
