Simit! Simit!
On every street, every corner you can get fresh crunchy simit, sesame seed rings. This man carries a hundred of them and sells them on the Uzunçarsi Caddesi ("Longmarket Street") that connects the higher positioned Covered Bazaar (Grand Bazaar) with Istanbul's Egyptian Bazaar (Spice Market).

Hospitality through a glass
Turkey equals hospitality, equals tea. Drinking a cup of tea with the locals or a market-salesman is a normal activity. Obviously, the tea is always on the inviter’s part.

Spice Market
Just off the famous Galata bridge in the Eminönü neighboordhoud a big and old market-hall stands in front of you, Istanbul's Egyptian Bazaar. This spice market was built in 1664 and is filled with exotic fragrances such as spices, dried fruits, nuts and seeds, lokum (Turkish Delight). Around the Bazaar you find many more stalls, with the Uzunçarsi Caddesi ("Longmarket Street") going up leading to the Covered Bazaar (Grand Bazaar).

Windows on Istanbul
My window is on Istanbul. I stayed here for four months summer 2007 with the aim of trying to understand the city. The coming weeks I will show some of the best photos I took here, as well as a story on life in Istanbul.

I love to eat varied: green and yellow. I live and learn through sharing. Absurd randomness and to explore the moment are key, just like to have a deep focal point.
I also have a profile over at JPG Magazine.
