“In Istanbul, there is a caf\u00e9 that has all the original glass, wood and brass fixtures from its construction in the 1840.\u00a0 The walls are decorated with large tile mosaics depicting two of the four seasons.\u00a0 The tiles were shipped over from France, but two seasons did not survive the voyage, so only spring and autumn are displayed.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Here at the Caf\u00e9 Markiz is where I enjoyed my first Turkish coffee, served with a glass of water and a piece of Turkish delight.\u00a0 Proper Turkish coffee is rich and smooth, with creamy foam on top, served in a small espresso cup with a saucer.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

You have to be still when you drink it, because moving around will disturb the grounds and muddy the flavour.\u00a0 It has to be savoured because the cups are small and you can\u2019t drink it all the way to the bottom.\u00a0 It is not really like coffee at all \u2013 more like a rich, sweet dessert \u2013 like a truffle \u2013 to be enjoyed at the end of a meal, or as a special treat late in the afternoon when you need a boost of energy. <\/em><\/p>\n

I loved it so much that I had my Turkish colleagues teach me proper technique and we took turns making Turkish coffee for the office.\u00a0 It became a friendly competition \u2013 who was closest to perfecting their technique?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Turkey is filled with many such experiences for those who are willing to slow down, be still and embrace the unexpected; the beauty of the landscape, the layers of history, the mixtures of modern and ancient, the variety of food and regional delicacies, and most rewarding and beautiful of all, the warmth, generosity and civility of the people… A country with many flavours.<\/em><\/p>\n

The collection of photographs in this exhibition is a visual short story of my experience with the human landscape of Istanbul.\u00a0 So, come take a walk with me<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
