This collection is not a complete album, but rather an impression of modern İstanbul with a historic backdrop. It reflects the city through scenes of the streets and its inhabitants.

In this album, the reader will come across two İstanbuls: One, a romantic landscape with palaces, mosques, churches, synagogues and "yalıs" along the sparkling Bosphorus, the other, a lively metropolis of more than 12 million-which at times camouflages this romantic landscape with impressive skyscrapers and busy traffic.

There are two İstanbuls: one of memories and one of hopes.

The picture will tell more than words...
