Dave Hagerman attended The Foundry Photojournalism Workshop in Istanbul and created an evocative audio slideshow titled The Ferry Boats of Istanbul, which he just published on his blog.
Yes, Istanbul is the city of Sultanahmet Camii, the Aya Sofya, the Kapalı Çarşı, but it is also the Bosphorus ferries that characterize it. These ferries provide crucial back links among different locations of that magnificent city, connecting the European and the Asian coastline. The very first steam ferries appeared on the Bosphorus in 1837, had been operated by private sector companies and at the moment carry around 61 million passengers yearly.
It is these that Dave determined to document. The audio slideshow with its glowing pictures and ambient sound will transport you in this kind of ferries…the sound of the turnstiles, the sirens, the voices of the passengers, and even the clink of the spoon in tea glasses that are served on ferries…all ambient sound intelligently picked to provide a comprehensive visual and aural encounter of these Istanbuli fixtures.
Dave Hagerman is a photographer primarily based in Kuala Lumpur and Penang in Malaysia, whose perform has appeared in publications this kind of as The Wall Street Journal Asia, Saveur, Budget Travel, Travel & Leisure SEA, The Chicago Tribune, South China Morning Post, Time Out KL, and Lonely Planet guidebooks.
