How about Lluis? Isn't he coming? 🙁

Ara Cafe sounds good. I am one of those who should aim to be there at 9.

Been gearing up now but haven't decided on film yet. It looks like it's going to be overcast. A brick of TriX in my fridge has Istanbul's name on it right now.

Lluis needs to stop combing his arse hair and book his flights.

 

[kully]

Istanbullers! Do we need to book a few tables at Ara Cafe? We'll only be there to meet up, but a seat and table would be civiilsed.

 

[telenous]

Simon and I will meet earlier, if someone else is around shoot a PM or email to either one of us. We'll be hitting Istanbul's beer reserves. Those of you who come later pray there 'll be some left for you 😀

Please leave some... At least some Raki, tho it may turn annoying after a couple of bottles...

I'll be there the 13th (i'll be departing the 12th late), but planning to see some turistic spots not to interfere with the meeting. By the way i'll be there also on Monday and departing on Tusday at 02:00 PM.

What about gears, anyone? 😀

Now it's time to talk about gear!😀


Lorenzo, sell my your widelux!!😉

I called Ara Cafe. They said they are opening around 7 a.m. and their breakfast service are starting at 10:30 a.m. If we are planning to meet around 10 they said we don't need any reservation. But if we planning to meet around 12 then we have to. If we can decide the meeting time I can make a reservation.

You're only smiling because you never tasted Efes beers, or the Rakı hangover...

😀 Bosphorus water temperature is still low enough for a quick remedy 😀

Have fun!

Telenous (and the Gang)

For the ones coming earlier why not use the Ara Café from 9-10 AM as a meeting point as well, in this case whoever is in town can join/meet/shoot.

Jon, glad you the one that get the Prize! 🙂

Gabriel, how could you miss the biggest year event?
That's sad.

 

[SimonSawSunlight]

who did the rain dance this year? worked like a charm.

anyways, I screamed havoc and let slip the dogs of photography today. I like this city a lot so far.

 

[CamarilloBrillo]

Lorenzo, sell my your widelux!!😉

We can make a deal - you give me all your gears in excange of my Widey. Sounds fair to me... 😀

Kidding apart, i may take it with me if you want to use it, it's not too cumbersome. I'm always glad to let my gears be exercised by others - i'm not a jealous guy. 😉

 

[kully]

I just sent the following email (but with mobile numbers and emails too) to everyone coming.

If you didn't get it, then I have typed in your email address wrong - please PM me (jonmanjiro - yours failed for a start).



We meet at 10am on Saturday at Ara Cafe. You will not have a problem identifying your fellow geek if you make it to the cafe.

What happens after that, we decide as we go along. The general plan is west-side Saturday, east-side Sunday.

The idea of the meet is to see those back streets and little places hidden that are not in the guide books, we go where the Istanbulers think is cool, no-one gets angry if you disappear down an alley or a building and there will be another to help should someone not like your photo taking and jump on your back to take your purse and wig.

As we will be 23, our interests will differ and we will split up and do as we wish. We can talk about it on Friday/Saturday but it would be nice for all of us to have a meal toghether on Saturday at least (dinner or supper or both), should be plan ahead or descend on a place?

Friday, I will want to drink beer until late. Let me know if you want to meet up.

 

[jippiejee]

Thnx for your PM, it would have been so cool to be able to be there. Had my taste of that wonderful city last month already... have fun all!
