I am a food photographer and for me food has not only the taste, but also the appearance. Often, working with chefs, first of all I ask them to buy the beautiful products. Sometimes I even go with the buyers to their secret places. So I want to share with you these secret places where [...]
Travelling with a kid is a totally different kind of experience. It's not like travelling around the world on your own. It seems I know all streets in the centre of Istanbul, but it's all different now. Now I'm looking at the city mainly through his eyes. I notice the details I have never seen, [...]
– Bye-bye, beautiful city! – Misha said sadly, when we were living cheerful, decorated for Christmas Kadıköy district. Narrow streets, numerous lights and lots of happy people. Kadıköy is like a separate city for my son. The thing is, we arrived here by ship. And it doesn't matter that it's just another district. It's a [...]
I'm used to travelling to the max. To get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, to have an early breakfast and to walk around cities the whole day long.

And then we were rewarded with tangerines [...]
Apart from feeding Istanbul seagulls, I also promised my son to visit a huge aquarium and to watch sharks. There is a nice oceanarium in Istanbul, which was unfortunately closed for a regular check during our stay in the city. But sharks had been already promised to my kid. So all I could do was [...]
To be honest, there are only 2 photos in this post that were taken by me. It's easy to recognize them. They depict my son enjoying his favourite cars, ships and everything that's related to them. If you ask me, how many toy cars he's got at home, I'll say: couple of hundreds. At least. [...]
My son is a very stubborn young man. He wanted to get to Hong-Kong with me badly to see dragons. I don't know why, but he decided Hong-Kong was a city of dragons. But I travelled to Hong-Kong on my own and sent him photos with Hong-Kong dragons and, of course, post cards depicting dragons. And [...]
The most famous dishes of sunny Italy are pasta and pizza. Ravioli Recipe was invented by Italian cooks, as kind of a paste and was so popular at Sicily.
