Anyone receive any postcards yet? I uploaded pictures from Istanbul to Flickr, if you're interested in seeing them. Using my pedestrian point-and-click and foregoing both technical training and Photoshop software, I achieve results of a piece with recent themes advanced by the new German photographers, had they been struck or otherwise greatly confounded before shooting.
Unfortunately, Flickr abruptly restricted my alloted monthly bandwidth before I was able to completely upload my pictures. (That's called an F-stop.) So I have only images from the big three tourist destinations: Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque (pictured), and Topkapi Palace.

Posted by: Matt F at March 24, 2006 12:11 PMYes! We got your postcard, just didn't get a chance to thank you in person before leaving town. But yes: the Turkish post officially works.
Posted by: tom at March 24, 2006 12:20 PMOh, boo. Well I'm leaving it.
The biscuit conditional, for anyone who doesn't spend his whole day at Unfogged.
Posted by: Kriston at March 24, 2006 12:20 PMBy the way, if anyone wants to write me an e-mail, I changed the e-mail address listed on the blog. (That's right, Ficke, I'm serving biscuits and gravy today.) The old e-mail address primarily serves as a spam catch-all; unfortunately the "dot" and "." in the subject and predicate of the address threw some folks, who consequently were not able to get their addresses to me. Sorry about that; now it's specialcapps //{AT}\\ gmail //{DOT}\\ com.

I am clearly the envy of my urban family household, proudly displaying postcards of Turkey from People They Don't Know on our bulletin board.
(In all seriousness, thank you.)

Posted by: Kriston at March 24, 2006 3:15 PMOh hell, my own comments are tripping the spam alarm. I only tweaked it a little bit! I'm never going to win this fight.
Posted by: Kriston at March 24, 2006 3:23 PMWhy were you taking pictures of the lady's WC? Kind of kinky.
Posted by: ben wolfson at March 24, 2006 4:20 PMThat's nobody's business but the Turks.'
Posted by: Kriston at March 24, 2006 4:42 PMLovely pictures! Will redouble efforts to get there in the fall!
Posted by: Becks at March 25, 2006 12:32 AMK, the photos of Istanbul are great! Tech training and P'shop not needed.
We're heading off in a few days to Italy. Hope my point-and-shoots turn out as well.
