I was going through old photos and came across these couple of shots I took while I was in Istanbul earlier this year. 
I remember being enamored with the colours of the flags in the first two photos, crisp and vivid, and striking against the ornate and umbral backdrop of the Ortaköy mosque on a cloudy day.  Next door was an abandoned brick building, with a similar faded character that I liked as a contrast to the bright flags.  Turns out that building was actually the same site where I had attended a party several days prior.  The next two photos are of that venue, lit beautifully and eerily by lamps, fire eaters and the moon.  I love how objects and edifices transform with just a change in lighting and atmosphere.
