Aromas, flavors, bazars and history around Istanbul Turkey (Part 1)

My journal

A couple of flights away from Chania, Crete Greece we ended up in Sultanahmet Istanbul.

As you fly in over Istanbul, you are reminded that this is a city of over 12 million people.

In search of a short trip near Chania, my family and I decided to spend a few days exploring the wonders and as much history as possible.

Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Galata tower, Taksim square just to name a few.

This is my “warm up” post before I manage to edit and share some more of the images I captured during our trip.

Stand by for part 2 and thanks for visiting.

24h escape to the South of Crete in Paleochora

It all happened mid week, 75 min away in less than 24hours in September. Paleohora in the South of Crete is our favourite destination "get-away". Amazing beaches, great food and family atmosphere.

We have always loved hanging out there from our single days up to now as a family. Andreas, one of the three brothers has been a buddy of mine since my cycling days and now we both enjoy time together as dads. If that ain't proof of friendship longevity I don't know wha ...

A holiday photo walk around Chania Crete.

Walking around the town of Chania near the end of the year one gets a chance to live some of the traditions here in Greece. First thing you will notice and feel is that Christmas isn’t as big of a deal as it is in other parts of the world. Here in Greece Easter is more celebrated and way more festive. Still the spirit is out there and people have a good time. Another noticeable and pleasant aspect is the weather. Especially here on Crete, if you want bellow zero temperatures you will have to drive up into the mountains and due to the high altitude (up to 2453m) even see some snow. But down at sea level temperatures rarely drop into t ...

Behind The Scenes of a commercial lifestyle photo shoot in Chania Crete, Greece

I was recently approached to commercially photo shoot for a new clothing company here in Chania, Crete Greece. The newly formed company called Rice Above Fear is based in the UK and owned by a young Greek form Chania. The company wanted a youthful photo shoot with a lifestyle approach. Just the kind of stuff I love. The photo shoot was done in two parts. Day one in the studio for the products and day two outdoors around town by a lake and finally on the beach. Putting together a good crew and models was essential. I always want to be efficient on set, but if we can’t have a good time in the process then why bother. The result i ...
