The Weekend In Black and White: Portrait of an Old Man, Istanbul

This old turkish man who must of been in his 80's ( at the very least)was sitting on the pavements outside the shops with his shoe shining materials on the streets near the Grand Bazaar. At one point one of the shop owners asked him to remove the many cigarette butts that littered the pavement outside their shops, whilst we were waiting for the coach and the rest of our tour group, I photographed him literally from the hip ( I own a Black Rapid strap now ).

Monday's Mellow Yellows: Spices in the Spice Bazaar, Istanbul

Photo of the spices on sale inside the Spice Market ( or Spice Bazaar) in Istanbul. Various goods are on sale in the bazaar including sweets and meat, its such a pity that they pester you when you just want to look, they have some lovely smells through.
