Follow my blog on Medium at https://medium.com/@jack_61165. It began in the summer of 2022 from cafés in Istanbul: part travel writing, part historical research, part film photography journal. It covers the grand sweep of Ottoman and Turkish history thrown up by encounters on the streets and digs into rich topics, from food and sex to architecture and art, inspired by my long ramblings through the city. You might even find idle, irrelevant musings now and then, but nothing regular, so make sure to Follow!
