Persongalleriet #402: In Lisbon with José

Sunday 19th of April.
On this day, I was lucky enough to meet the Portuguese photographer José Calheiros. In the morning José met up at my hotel and we started a long photo walk, with some drives in between, where I got to see and feel just a little bit of José's skills as a driver. It was great getting to know him as we walked and talked in a part of old Lisbon where the Castle looms above.

After a while we came down to the river and went into a refurbished ferry terminal to find a modern environment as a contrast to the old town.

Here's José with some halucinogenic tile patterns in the ceiling.

We walked through central Lisbon towards where José had parked his car.

After reaching Josés sporty beamer, he took us on a detour to a fantastic train station: Estação do Oriente. Beautiful, modern architecture, just about tailor made for street photography!

Thanks, José, for pointing out this spot for me!  :-)

The day continued, but I'll stop here for today!

Be well, everybody!  :-)

Persongalleriet #398: In Besiktas with Canan

Istanbul, April 13th 2015.
Here are a bunch of picture from my day with Canan, a Turkish photographer and illustrator who was kind enough to show me a part of her city I hadn't seen before:  Beşiktaş.

Anarchy.

It seems I am becoming more and more of a cat photographer.  :-)

And Canan wants to be one too!

Stopping for çay is a good idea!

Here are the cats again!

Legs.

Than you Canan for an awesome day!  :-)

Persongalleriet #389: Istanbul in the Rain

It was really, cold, wet and windy on the streets of Istanbul today! At lunchtime, the damp was down to my underwear, which was when I gave up for the day. I was freezing! But before that it was amazing! Found some really steep, rugged, backstreets near my hotel which gave me a lot of opportunities. I hope it shows, at least in some of the shots!

You'd better hold on to that cheap crumbling umbrella!

Please enlarge to see how much it's raining!

As long as your hair is dry!

That's it, folks!
