Serenity - Limited Edition of 1 Print

While walking along the sidewalk next to the Bosporus in Istanbul, I noticed a line of fishermen along the boardwalk watching, waiting, for an optimal time to throw in their hooks into the water. For the people of Istanbul, this is a pretty frequent and mundane sight, but there was something about the orange and pink hues in the sky, and the patience and serenity in one man's aura that couldn't be ignored. There, standing a little further removed from the hustle and bustle of the fishermen was an older gentlemen standing and admiring the sea. Amongst the commotion surrounding him, there he was, standing and appreciating the beauty of the sea almost as if he was too captivated to look away for even a second. I was taken aback and quite fascinated with the sight. After the initial moment of awe, I concluded it was only right that the solitary moment deserved to be captured on film rather than digitally. It was a spectacle that deserved the utmost care and consideration before being captured, and in turn, required to be represented through a medium that allows just that.
