East meets West


5th June 2006 - Istanbul.
An exotic synthesis of the familiar and the unknown, East embracing West, vibrant and yet strangely peaceful and quiet.
Fifteen million (and two} people purched on the doorstep of Asıa and Europe. The Blue Mosque and the Aya Sofıa eyeballıng each other across the few hundred metres whıch has separated them and dıvıded Chrıstıanıty from Islam for almost 2000 years - seemıngly happy to share the same groundspace of Sultanahmet. If there ıs a sımbol of hope for us, thıs surely must be ıt. And here we waıt to begın our odyssey
