Hair dresser scene from Fleabag. Fleabag saying "Hair. Is. Everything. We wish it wasn't so we could actually think about something else occasionally. But it is!" with Claire in the background with her new haircut, looking like a pencil (?).

i got to do a shoot for the first time in forever, which was both fun and also sobering (to the reality that i have to practice more). my mom and i also had the greatest guide, Murat Selam, planning the trip on the spot and explaining the sights. #photography #streetphotography #blackandwhite
Grayscale image of a man walking with two small metal barrels of natural gas, as seen from a walkway. Grayscale photopgraph of the Erzurumlu Nafız Bey Apartment. Only the top floors are within the picture in front of a gray, clear-looking sky. Grayscale photograph of three big windows looking into an empty room. Through the right-most window, an empty bench. Writing on concrete saying "Queer future is inevitable". Fun fact: I noticed that there was another spray painted writing on the wall saying "Sharia now" in Turkish.
