Mary Blair

21 October was Mary Blair' 100th anniversary. She was a very talented and inspirational illustrator and a Google doodle was designed for her on 21 October 2011 to commemorate it, so I decided to put some of her marvellous works. She have made illustrations for Disney, which made her famous. The first photograph is Mary Blair, her self. Above, is the Google doodle.

Don't think that my photos and impressions about Istanbul Design week was very less. Here are some more photos and information for the ones who missed it.

An interesting inspiration for a neklace, which is made of a soft material that can become very small if you want.

This design named "Tulpi" is actually a public chair, but first of all you have to open the petal of the tulip to sit on it:) I think this design is so smart.

Beyoglu

I'm in Istanbul now and I know that I'm not going anywhere for quite a long time. Tomorrow my school starts, but before that I'm making trips in here to take some photos, see different places like museums, cafe-restaurants or shops.

I decided to go to Beyoglu with one of Istanbul's famous boats and took some photos.

More over, I went to see Pera Museum (http://en.peramuzesi.org.tr/), where an exhibition called "Present Times" is continuing. It is the exhibition of the projects of Anadolu University Faculty of Fine Arts students (2010-2011). I really liked it and think that the students of the university's students are very creative and successful.

After visiting Pera Museum I walked down Beyoglu, where a lot of student were shouting. I actually thought that something was wrong, and there was a bad situation, but later on I realised that it was only a miting, which they were shoutin for their own rights.

Experiment of Light

I literally played with lights, to take unique photos in İstanbul this time, but in an appartment. In the apparment, which was my friend's, he has a clock which you can see it after reflecting it on a wall, so you need a little bit of darkness. It really inspired me, so I started to take photos and make some kind of experiments with lights.

Some More From Antalya

Previously I focused on sea photos, and its details, but ofcaurse Antalya was more than that. Actually I was in Manavgat as I mentioned before, which was a very calm an quite town, so we did not go to bars, nor dancing, but we did have some kind of enjoyment: playing games like "Tabu", "Cranium" and "Trivial Pursuit" at nights, watching the sun set, or swimming in a pool while it was dark. We were staying in a place called "Bizim Köy". (http://bizimkoy.biz/icindex.htm)
Besides we went to see waterfall of Manavgat, which looked so perfect that I remember it now as a place just like a dream. We ate "kavurma" there, because it was famous:)

Good Bye, Summer...

Today I realised that summer is over, while I was walking on Caddebostan Beach. It was windy and the sea was still and looked silvery, which made me thought that the atmosphere there was mysterious. This is why I want to put some photos of the hot summer time in Manavgat (Antalya), where I stayed for 4 days in a friend's house. The last photo is Kaan, reading while walking towards me.
