240518 – News
Today I saw another instance of cruelty shared by news outlets, on Twitter.
I couldn’t watch it.
And I stopped following all the news accounts.
Once again I realized that everyone should do what they have to do.
I’ll bring news from other worlds of beauty.

240430 – Library Cafe, Beşiktaş
The best part of having a digital/location-independent business is, well…
You can work from wherever you want.
I’ve been in İstanbul for more than two weeks now.
Today I decided to go to the library cafe at the pier of Beşiktaş.
I very much liked the concept and hope to see more of these.
Had some snacks, checked my emails, and worked on some of my photographs before coming to the office I’m working and recording a vlog which I hope to publish tomorrow.
It was a good start to the day.
Time to go back to work now, more on work and stuff later…

Dr. Halsey: Well, that’s the thing about war.
It never stays where you put it.

240130 – My old “About” on LinkedIn
Beauty is not just a candy for the eye or a subject of arts. It’s a value. Some beauties are so valuable that they are priceless. My goal is to communicate through visual arts and teach how to do that; how to use the tools, how to see, process, and convey what you see as beautiful and ultimately to help create your own artistic value whether personally or professionally.

Visit to Akhisar and the start of my digital nomad journey
It was 2017 when I made the decision, I was going to travel the world.
I was in Italy. Traveling Venice, Florence, and Dolomites. Oh, the Dolomites, the amazing mountains.
I was over the moon because of excitement. Italy was basically a heaven for photographers.
Making photography the center of your life and travel… Good but how? How to afford it?
When I came back to Turkey I tried […]
Back to photography
On Friday, March 31st, I went to İzmir.

I also took my photography gear, just in case.
Then just before sunset, I went to the infamous Clock Tower of İzmir in Konak.
Found a composition, posted some Instagram stories, befriended a curious crow even.
During the sunset, I took several photographs.
There were some promising ones […]
