November: a workshop we organized, made participants create a paper mask, visited a neighborhood Kanlıca by the sea,
also we framed the pictures & paintings for home
December: cold days with my new fur coat (of course not a real one), a wine night with friends, pizza hunting, and took a walk by the sea
Here is a short summary of my 2014 with some pics. Of course there are lots of moments I want to
mention but these are the ones I remember in a clear way. This year wasn't my favorite one that I had
lots of things to do, worked hard for my magazine, and tried to be calm and peaceful to concentrate
on my works.... but my wedding day and our honeymoon were the bests of my life so far.

I hope all we'll have a better and awesome year with a big wisdom, peace, and happiness!

Happy new year, happy 2015! See you.

d.i.y: homemade bread


























For a while we've baked our bread in our kitchen. This recipe is pretty easy to give a try:

ingredients:
- 2 cup of white flour
- 1 cup of wheat flour
- 1 cup of water (in room temperature)
- 1 table spoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt

how to make:
in a large bowl mix/knead all these ingredients above until it gets nonstick enough. then put:
- anything that you want to put inside your bread; such as dried tomatoes, olives, onions etc.
and knead for 5 minutes more.

after all, leave it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours inside a big bowl covered with a wet towel.
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees.
Then bake for 30 minutes at 200 degrees. (or depending on your oven you can change the 
temperature)

Enjoy!

Sunrise, sunrise looks like mornin' in your eyes...










Here I am. When it's time to be ready for a harsh winter, I get my film rolls
back to remember how it feels being under the sun. These images were taken in this
summer when we took a short distance road trip to Türker's hometown. Some of them
were taken in our house..

I can't wait to be on the roads again, but of course there are 'things to do' first.
On January, we'll have a flight to Barcelona for the second time (cause we like
this city so much) and even though it will be probably dark and cloudy I can't wait
to take more pics with my new camera and this analog one too.

Because I have a very short spare time to blog regularly, I decide to share more pics rather
than daily posts. Hope you'll like them. 
Enjoy the weekend!

Sunset treats me well...



























This year I'm always in between of something; cities, people, job-home, two different decisions...
So I'm hungry for a routine life again, but I know this is just a transition period. Besides I'm working
as a freelance publisher, we have to travel to another city every month for a construction field
(because Türker is an architect) and this gives me enough derangment and imbalance too...
But as I know that I should take an advantage of  this situation, I try to work during the days, and go
out, smell the sea and enjoy the sunsets in the afternoons.

Datça is very close to several Greek islands. There is something in the air of this city, which
pulls you into a different feeling that you want to keep writing, thinking and enjoying the nature as
possible as you can do.

Datça'da geçirilen günlerin özeti: gün batımı, bol oksijen, kafa doluluğu, toz, orman, İstanbul 
düşüncesi ve keşifler.
