Day 7

We began the day by ferrying up the Bosphorus to İstinye with the goal of walking the 12 km all the way back to Beşiktaş where my friend lives. It was a picturesque sunny day and I felt very compelled to soften the contrast and adjust colors for a more pastel look. I do like the brighter look, but I certainly was quite inconsistent in my color grading…woopsies. This post is a bit of a grab bag of colors, but I hope you will at least enjoy the framing ;)

Day 8

I spent the final day hanging out with family friends on the Asian side in the Kadıköy area. The vibes just felt very filmic as the day came to a close, so while I may have overdone the grain on the last few photos, it certainly represents all the nostalgia that will be, for me, forever associated with this unforgettable week in Istanbul.
