When it comes to photography I am clearly on a pause mode these days. The old techniques no longer inspire me, the new ones have yet to be discovered. In fact, my last two travel tips I made without my Nikon – something unthinkable a few years ago!

Decisions to travel without a camera could also be a result of an overall change towards life – I want to be light! The idea is to have less material things which require my attention. In other words, less things will result in less time I need to take care of them and will give me more free time and space.

So,  in light of my de-materialization philosophy, a bag with a camera and 2 lenses sounds like too much weight on my shoulders.

Below are some photos from one of the most recent trips to Istanbul.  Enjoy!
