This photo IS Istanbul. The very essence of the city and why I fell in love with it. I felt welcomed, like people around me where excited to welcome me into their fascinating city. I don't know these man, i don't know what they were gathering on the streets on a wednesday afternoon for, i don’t know why they had “backpack chairs” and they did not speak english. They Weren’t arranged for this photo, they just happened to be standing that way, and looked at me when I visually asked to take a shot
