Last night


Last night, last thoughts. My holidays part three (or four, depends on how you count it) are ending tomorrow and I'm coming closer to reality. Closer to inspiration too, I hope. I've had fun in a lot of unusual ways. If you've told me three months ago that I wouldn't get extremely bored in Gastouni, I'd have slapped you. But this time, I decided to have fun and I did. But time goes on and on. If you ask me now, I'm fine with the holiday part. I've slept enough, drank enough, danced more than enough. I wanna go back to my reality. But things won't be the same with those I left before the holidays. And this scares me. But it also thrills me. I don't know. Having no care in the world is a damn nice feeling. But, this time of the year, I'm getting addicted to social media. Hell's bells. In the end, I prefer living a full time life from having all the time to laugh with posh kids...

PS. I promise my posts are going to be less self-centered and analyzing from now on. But, as I said before, it's the Gastouni disease :p

Two years gone

I noticed today that my blog turned 2 years old. Two years and four days, to be exact. It was created with the same cafe's internet, in the same place. It's amazing how and why this blog started and how it turned up. It grew up I guess. Like myself (we can take that back if you want :p). And speaking about myself, I need a serious detox. So goodbye memorandum post and hello fresh juices...

Recycling

Today I learned a new term, reading some international gossip magazine (imagine how bored I am). Recycling. Meaning, using clothing items twice publicly. Example, "Queen Elisabeth recycled this hat made by x that she wore in y occasion in 2008". It's the summer, season of boredom and recycling. I haven't touched a camera for any serious reason since I came here. I call it the Gastouni disease but it keeps getting worse every year. Last year, I made a Polaroid series. This year, nada. So, I look at the films I've shot previously and find photos I've never shared before very interesting. And I wonder, are they really interesting or is it just because it's summer and the general cultural activity is down?

This is an example

I'm looking for a new summer soundtrack...

are you willing to help?I've been right on spot finding the last one, but now I need a new one. I'm in a little city (the best term to describe it) where everyone tends to do extreme things. I guess my dear godfather doesn't say "unbelievable" and "amazing" five times more around here just for fun. And there are two ways to bear it: you either stay out of trouble and criticize everyone else, or you merge in and get in trouble too. You choose. So I want ideas...

The World Is going Crazy

...and so am I. I tried to write my first post on a smartphone (and failed tremendously). My parents are learning Turkish through a tv show. The world might be ready for an international revolt, or so say the signs. And even though I'm not hell well, I don't want the holidays to end. I might be shooting photos with a single use camera and spend my time doing nothing but right now it seems great. PS, we just got a phonecall from Alaska. The world's really gone mad

Don't talk to me today...

and by the way, I read yesterday that Henri Catrier Bresson was also thinking about the relation of chaos and order. Swell.

Chaos in Order

jam
I kind of love this one. Without apparent reason. It reminds me that chaos and order are very subjective things
