RE: Capturing the Cafe Atmosphere on 35mm Film

I spend my time sitting in cafes, doing little Hive work from my phone, observing the life unfolding around me. Each cafe offering different stories to see and hear.
Sometimes we are so immersed in ourselves that we do not realize that we are part of a world that is in constant movement, the people around us come and go, with their own problems, situations, feelings and dreams... maybe that's why street photography has always caught my attention, being able to capture a moment of everyday life forever, it's like trapping an instant of life itself in time. I really liked the pictures, thanks for sharing them.

Exactly! I think being more introverted and a bit of a recluse shut-in made me this more observational way. Where I can be a mixture of social but also outcast. In a way I don't mind being tucked away in a corner if it means my artistic side can flourish. To observe and learn from others. To watch and understand, and then grow from what I see around me.
After posting this, a group of children came into the cafe all dressed in Halloween costumes. I felt an intense emotion seeing it. That wholesome side of life in Istanbul that I had been yet to see. Simplistic life, kids enjoying the holidays, the fun of being young.
