The Wife

Amir and I went to Downtown Los Angeles and took tons of pictures of his "wife"...
It was an incredibly fun nevening/night where i had tons of pictures....

And I accidentally deleted all of them.

I took 4 pictures using Amir's camera and the ultra wide-angle lens... This one made the cut for this week's blog.

I am so bummed as I had such great shots of this beautiful car with the beautiful background after the sun went down.

Oh, well.... Mistakes are there for us to learn from them, right?

An Offer You Can't Refuse

An unpublished work of mine. This was done for a promotion of Digiturk, the biggest (may be the monopoly) of Turkish Cable TV provider. It was one of the proposals, it didn't get picked up, but I'm still proud of it :o)

The title reads "We have 4 offers you can't refuse" and it's about 4 films about Mafia that would be aired during the month of September. The creative was conceived by my brother Tolga. It was the first time we worked on such a project despite the ocean and the continent between us and I am looking forward to many more.

The following are some other samples from the night I shot these. A huge thank you goes to my buddy Erdem for providing the props and for being my model!

Yet Another Big Sur Blog

Another absolutely lovely Big Sur camping trip lasted too short as usual... Meet the two lovely mascots of our campgorund... Humphrey and Betty....

It was a very misty, overcast, somewhat chilly couple of days, but it was still very pleasant for me... Big Sur is a magical place... I love it up there.

You know what else I love? My Nikon Nikkor 105mm f2.8 Macro lens... That's what I love!

We also took a hike at our favorite camping spot: Limekiln. And although I looked for a four-leaf clover, I wasn't that lucky...

We also bid farewell to a dearest friend....

And a warm, loving picture to finish the week... Jennifer's eagle eyes caught this one. A heart shaped hot coal...

Dustin Blank Live at House of Blues

Dustin Blank performed at the Woodoo Lounge of House of Blues on the Sunset Strip last Wednesday, and I was there to capture this intimate performance.

Enjoy the pics and the video! :o)
