Take me back to Istanbul

I visited Istanbul few days ago and all I have to say is that 
I felt in love with this city.
There is really something in the air, that I cannot define. 
But the people, the smells, the colors, the tastes, the contrasts that exist in every corner, make this city unique and you to want return.

Robert Mapplethorpe Photography

Robert Mapplethorpe was known from the erotic and sometimes pornographic photographs, during the decades of 70 and 80, and by his bizarre life. The genius American photographer, a photographer-symbol of underground art scene, regarded as one of the most important and provocative photographers of his time.

Mapplethorpe took photos of celebrities of avant-garde and bourgeois life, but also anonymous and porn stars. His themes are bold, with images of violence and sadomasochism, and at the same time, full of emotion and expressiveness. I think his work is an ode to perfection and beauty of the human body and of the nature, without a try of  beautifying. 
Totally honest. So powerful. So inspirational.
