TWO SEASONS IN THE SOUTH

From the intoxicating heat and hazy glare of the summer to the sobering autumn warmth with its crisp light. The magic wand of the Sun. Succession of the plants. Colors. Scents. Shape shifting of the fertile soil. Ebb and flow of people, crowds, on the beaches of the peninsula.

Life, simple in urban terms and yet, so rich otherwise. Nature: impartial, indifferent, inspiring, guiding. A healer.

Seasons changed, and so did I, fishing moments out of the constant flow with my camera. Moments, flavoring my understanding of things and flavored by my moods. Zooming in and out. Moving like a flying fish through the objective and subjective.



And I’m leaving in gratitude.

GOOD MORNING, EARTH


said the Sun. Good morning, humans. Russian troops that enter Ukraine. Wars and peace. Your extended eye on the back of a passing comet. Enthusiastic watching, orgasmic exhibiting, and blindness in-between. Good morning busyness, billion manifestations of your fertile minds.

In the meantime pick an orange. They are already succulent. And this is all I can manage to bring about.


Just Life!

ISTANBUL DIARY

After a long absence Istanbul got me once again.

Through its ever conflicting aspects, I let myself be reconquered by this, partly ugly all right, but immensely charismatic presence.



This town where decay and purity, harmony and chaos, unrest and peace, madness and wisdom exist simultaneously is both mundane and timeless.



A wholehearted dance with Istanbul teaches you to embrace life in all its intricacy.
