It started snowing as our plain touched down at 8 am here in Istanbul. It has not stopped. In fact it has intensified. I had planned on going out and doing some site seeing, but with the lack of sleep and the blowing snow I only made it across the street to the The Sultan Ahmed Mosque or the Blue Mosque as it is often called and the Ayasofya. Now is not the time to give you a history lesson, but you can read all about them HERE & HERE on Wikipedia.
One thing that is always a challenge when shooting well known and over photographed icons like the Blue Mosque, Ayasofya or Taj Mahal is how to shoot them fresh. Today I was blessed with bad weather.
I shoot for mostly NGOs and nonprofits. I photograph images of the unknown, the forgotten and the helpless. These are often the stories that most people overlook.
