Some denied and some replied
April 2011, Mahmutpaşa Bazaar, IstanbulWhat care I for your goose feather bed
With the sheets turned down so bravely
Well I may sleep on the cold hard ground
Along with the Black Jack Davy
Then I'll kick off my high heeled shoes
Made of the Spanish leather
And I'll put on my lowland brogues
And skip it o'er the heather
~ Steeleye Span, "Black Jack Davy"

Wrap me up in a cloak of gold
See if i can sleep

Thresher
April 2011, Mahmutpaşa Bazaar, IstanbulOne misty moisty morning when cloudy was the weather
I met with an old man a-clothéd all in leather
He was clothéd all in leather with a cap beneath his chin
Singing "How d' you do and how d' you do and how d' you do again?"
~ Steeleye Span, "Misty moisty morning"

For the boy
April 2011, Kapalı Çarşı, Istanbul
No second thoughts, the knife is nearing

Excellent businessmen I
April 2011, İstiklâl Caddesi, IstanbulLadies and gentlemen, critics and hipsters,

Inside the dragon
April 2011We must hang up in the belfry where the bats and moonlight laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
And to the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge
~ Bright Eyes, "At the bottom of everything"
Strait
April 2011After all this time, I understand nothing at all about colour. Absolutely nothing. It's impressing. I can only admit defeat and let GIMP handle it.
How does colour work? What does it mean? How should it be? How was it when I took the picture? Does GIMP know what it's doing? Do I, for that matter? No. No, I don't.
Up
April 2011"And suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out. And they started falling, thirty thousand feet... And then they splashed into the deep blue sea. Oh, it was a wonderful splash."
~ Bright Eyes, "At the bottom of everything"
Whoosh
April 2011, Athens International AirportWe must blend into the choir, sing in static with the whole
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
And in this endless race for property and privilege to be won
We must run

My back to the water, my feet on the sand
April 2011, MessiniOr I could go to Australia, carry a bowie knife
and wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
and learn card tricks and buy everyone drinks
and take boxing and write songs about my bowie knife...
Fuck it, I'm gonna go to Australia

On a desolate shore I
April 2011, MessiniThe oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land
But the sound doesn't dampen his smile

Floats off down the river Nile
