Istanbul, circa 1975


Reading Orhan Pamuk's
The Museum of Innocence gave me incredible pangs to see the Istanbul he described. Soon, of course, everyone will be able to see the actual artefacts in the Museum of Innocence he is building for real. Until then...



Line 20, 1970s


South African Verona Bass by the Bosphorus at the Eminonu ferry terminal, 1967, on her London-Kathmandu adventure.


Wooden building, 1970s

And then some Ara Güler...


Iron workers waiting for their shift to start, 1970


Beyoglu (Pera), Istanbul, 1962 (but so great I had to include it.)
