1st Anniversary of Photostorming ☄ ★ ♕

source

































I'm happy to announce that it's time to celebrate 1st anniversary of my blog; Photostorming! Thanks for
reading my blog and sharing ideas with me. I hope you'll stay here more to read this blog.
I try to keep it simple, sincere, honest and open to changes. I want to host more bloggers over
Be My Guest  corner, and I want to share more DIY concepts for the upcoming posts.



























Also another news is that I start to take ads for my blog! If you have a small business brand, feel free to
send an e-mail to me. For more information, you can check "sponsors" page at the top of my blog or green
box placed at the right side.

And lastly, I want to say THANK YOU to Damaris and Dani of  the cat you & us blog for including and
tagging me in their favorite bloggers! I'm so honored to deserve their blog award :)
Rather tagging, I want to ask questions to 5 favorite bloggers I follow at the "be my guest" posts soon. I
hope they (Damaris & Dani) will be the first guests of 2014 :)

Here are my answers to their award questions:

01Which is your latest guilty pleasure?
My lastest guilty pleasure was watching cheesy romantic movies in Christmas. I'm much more into festival 
movies and European movies rather than Hollywood but sometimes I get happy when I watch this kind of 
"simple" movies :)


02Do you have any special piece of clothing or complement? Which one and why?
I can't go out without wearing my hats. I love to wear a hat in all seasons. Also I have a jacket which was
becoming my favorite piece and like an organ of my body :)) I took this one all summer of 2013 when
I was about to go somewhere.


03 Which were your three favorite toys when you were a little girl?
I had a Barbie doll whose name was Ingrid and it was sent by my cousin from Canada. I fell in love with 
it cause it was so different from the other barbies :) She talked when I press its button, haha! And I had
a big red car which was bought by my dad, it was so special for me that my dad's first toy gift ever! I didn't
understand why he chose to buy this one to me, but I liked this car and played a lot with it. Lastly, I had a 
huge baby doll (which was almost the same size with me in those ages) who was singing my favorite song :))
It feels creepy for now, but when I was 5 or 6, I was having great time singing with her. Her name was Ayse.
It's like "Anna" version of Turkish girl names :)


04Which type of apocalypse would you have more probabilities to survive: zombie or alien 
invasion?
Of course alien invasion! It sounds so interesting that I'm interested in aliens more than zombies :) Zombies
stink, haha :) I can become friend with an alien, but there is no chance even to talk (I mean body talk) to a 
Zombie for me!!


05How do you see yourself in 5 years?
I don't have any exact idea though, I will probably live in a different country for a while, I'll write a book
and be happy with my love :)

Inside Istanbul: Nikol, Eat Box ve 290 Sqm


























Galata'nın Serdar'ı Ekrem Sokağı her zaman dinamik. Bazen birkaç ay önce gittiğim bir mekan veya
dükkanı bir sonraki gidişimde yerinde bulmak bile mümkün olmuyor. Tabii içlerinde yıllardır kalan yerler de
yok değil. Galata'ya son gidişimde de yine yeni açılmış dükkanlara, mağazalara ve kafelere uğradım. Uzun
zamandır gözüme kestirdiğim Nikol Galata beni tatmin etmeyi başardı. İç dekoru çok güzel, tam evinizde
hissedebileceğiniz bir yer. Geniş kanepeler, uzun masalar... Hatta istediğiniz pastalardan seçebileceğiniz
bir de açık buzdolabı var. Üstelik gördüğünüz birçok eşya da satılık. Ben gözleme ve bitki  çayı söyledim,
memnun da kaldım. Galata'ya yolunuz düşerse bu kafeye uğrayın koltuğa yayılıp dergileri karıştırın,
tatlılarından tadın ve Galata'ya bir de Nikol'ün camları ardından bakın!

--Serdar-i Ekrem Sok. No: 9 Galata



























Hiçbir zaman fastfood çocuğu olmasam da ve şık masalarda yenilen "yavaş yemekleri" sevsem de, arada bir
canım hamburger çekmiyor değil :) En sevdiğimiz hamburger cennetlerinden biri de, Beşiktaş'ta Abbasağa
Parkı yakınında yer alan Eat Box. Etleri kaliteli, sunumları güzel ve porsiyonları doyurucu. Mantarlı 
burgeri ve "sloopy joe"su favorilerim arasında. Dekor olarak da bir o kadar eğlenceli; duvarında ilk
açıldığından bu yana asılmış rengarenk afişler var. Acıktığınızda ve hızlı bir şekilde kaliteli bir yemek
istediğinizde Eat Box aklınızda bulunsun!

--Abbasağa Mah. Jandarma mektebi Sok. No:1 Beşiktaş






























Konsept butiklere bir yenisi eklenmeye devam ediyor. Yakında Berlin ve Amsterdam'a yetişirsek
şaşırmayacağım. 290 Sqm de (290 square meters), Amsterdam çıkışlı bir konsept mağaza. İçinde A.P.C,
Nike, Fred Perry gibi markalar var. Spor olup hala "stil" gözükmek isteyen erkeklerin dikkatini çekeceğe
benziyor. Çok spor giyim tercih eden biri olmamama rağmen, Nike'ın ayakkabıları ve Elka'nın yağmurlukları
aklımı bayağı karıştırdı :) Üstteki parçaları seçerken arkaya "Lost in Amsterdam" açtım ve iyice havaya
girdim.

**Eğer bu tip mağazaları seviyorsanız; Shopigo Loft, Self Estate ve yeni açılan Makas Bliss'e de uğrayın.

-- Serdar-i Ekrem Sok. Şahin Apt. No:27-A Galata

This Inside Istanbul column is for Turkish readers. I wrote about a lovely cafe in Galata; Nikol, a 
burger place; Eat Box and a newly opened Amsterdam based concept store; 290 sqm.

There are still many photos of our New York trip back in september, but I think that I should post just
some of them otherwise it goes like this forever :)) I don't want to bother you with overloading New York
pictures!

Instead, I desire to share my analog pictures taken in Istanbul, and in Berlin where we'll go for a next trip
in march.

I hope you enjoyed your New Year's Eve! Wish you a happy 2014 from now!

September / 2013.
