Once Upon a Time in Istanbul book.
"While others sought to capture Istanbul's beauty,John Bolloten went looking for what was underneath. He followed the city into its insomnia; wandered its alleyways; and listened to the quiet parts most people step over. What he brought back wasn’t just documentation, it was interrogation. His photographs don’t flatter, they reveal.
This book doesn’t show Istanbul from the deck of a ferry at golden hour. It shows the city that clings to your skin. The one that mutters to you in a side street in Tarlabasi; the one that watches you through the rusted shutters in Balat. This is the city of workers; drifters; survivors; and the ghosts they leave behind."
(from the introduction by Kerem Nasipoglu)
