Photograph the Asian Side of Istanbul

The Asian Side: Murals and Markets

Aug.17th meeting point: Kadikoy, Besiktas pier

After a short visit to central Kadikoy with it's fish market and the small Armenian chapel, we will cross over to the other side of the tracks to photograph Yeldegirmen. This neighborhood is very interesting, scattered through the small sleepy red light district are wonderful wall paintings the size of whole buildings and as we walk on we will see a sudden change in atmosphere. A stop in a lovely Syrian/French artists cafe and through the newly gentrified streets discovering wall murals painted by International artists. 
Lunch in a local eatery and back through to Moda via the antique market, where the city council is sponsoring another group of artists and work in the making...
