Photographer and bookmaker. Tea and typography enthusiast. Hardcore bibliophile. With too many freckles. And here, I play. All photos are my work (or my friends' but mostly mine) unless stated otherwise. This is also having to function as my portfolio as I neither have the skills to design a website myself nor have the inclination to pay for one to be made. Yes, I'm pretty and blunt.

Dusk in Istanbul, there are flocks of starlings that move like clouds of fish. I had noticed that there were no large flocks of birds in Amman. Instead, dotted about the city and always keeping close to certain rooftops, were distinct flocks of 20 to 30 unusual pigeons. This reminded me of Mardin, a city in south eastern Turkey that is famous for its birds that do cartwheels in midair.
Equally famous are the men who keep these birds.
Meet Samir and Bilal. They are twins. They invited us up to their rooftop sanctuary. They showed off their beautiful birds. They offered delicious cake and cardamon flavoured ‘Turkish’ coffee.
It was a wonderful afternoon.

"Ἀνερρίφθω κύβος"
Julius Caesar to his army, before crossing the Rubicon river into Northern Italy on January 10, 49 BC.
A gambling metaphor, (translation: “let the die be cast”), meaning that events have passed a point of no return, that something inevitably will happen.
Theme: Linear by Peter Vidani
