Topi’s Photos: The Sands of Sam

Monday, December 12th, 2011
Even a guy travelling around on his own dime acting tough likes a little romanticism every now and then. In my case I was seeking it in a desert sunset, alone. But the Sam desert that had been promoted so heavily by media back home turned out to be not a romatic site calling for introspection, but a chaotic circus.

Topi’s Photos: Turkey in Ashes

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011
I’m not here to slander the citizens of Cappadocia, Turkey and say they bathe in dust. But, describing a life among the ashes does almost beg for sensationalism.
