I am not interested writing about politics,I am not a critic or political writer therefore I don’t share my opinions to the masses , all I wish to do is write about living here in Istanbul.

    dear brian,
    i am one of your twit follower, enjoy hearing about my city here in the netherlands.
    lately we [as a network of architects and city designers] are starting a project in istanbul, are interested in the social media can influence the act of city making. you as a photographer and active twitter/blogger seem to be very relevant to the things we will be conducting very soon.
    also your sensitivity for earthquake is a coincidence as part of the project is a ‘what if’ game about istanbul’s expected earthquake.

    could we phone or skype?

    hope to meet you soon virtually/actually [we plan to be in istanbul end of april/may...]

    I had a few blogs in time since when moved from Istanbul to Stockholm, but then gave up at all. I hope you keep on updating, without getting any lazy or “what am I doing?” kinda feeling. Here is one more post to motivate. Yes we read you. Keep on the good work!
