Dear Pinar,
I am pleased that you commented me.
I think the merchant is a very special person. That's why I focus so insistively on him. I care for the human expression more than the fabulus decoration of his little store. The "Beyogly Cikolatasi store" looks so interesting because it reflects his persona.
There is no coloured version. So far I shoot black and white and develop myself. I love the grain. This particular image is so grainy because it is a cropped tiny particle of a 35mm negative.
The response from Turkish people to my Instanbul photos is much more exciting than this of Greeks to my Greek traveling photography. Maybe because Istanbul itself is as populated as the whole Greece :-)
I really want to visit again. My grandmather's family (she is 84 today) lived in Karakoy. They all had to come to Greece in 1921 (she was an infant). So I may have a little memory of the City in my DNA.
Sincerely,
Theodore Stamoulis
