| Description: | Anatolian Images features the photography and travel writing of Josh Wentz. Turkey’s capital city of Ankara is currently my home, but I also enjoy the opportunity to occasionally travel through the larger Anatolian plateau and also to the coastal regions near the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean. The smaller towns and villages in these areas particularly interest me, being off the beaten path and full of interesting settings and friendly, unpretentious people. And, of course, the city of Istanbul contains more experiences and photographic opportunities than I could explore in a lifetime. The goal of this photoblog is to share a little more of the stories, experiences, people and (occasionally) techniques that lie behind the pictures I make. After years of being an engineer and a businessman, it’s pretty hard for me to take myself seriously as an artist, so I don’t really expect you to. But hopefully that won’t keep you from enjoying the photography and the stories to be found here. |

Village Wedding 16: Man and Wife
On Ayşegül’s arrival at Eren’s family’s home, the couple join together to enter the house’s bridal chamber privately for the first time as a couple, while a female relative anoints the mantle of the door frame with butter. After a symbolic two or three minutes in the bridal chamber, the new couple emerge to everybody’s happy applause. Ayşegül is unveiled for the first time since the wedding began, and without a headscarf in public for the only time in her adult life. Canon EOS Rebel XTi, ISO-200, f/10, 1/40 sec.

Ladder Windows Arches
An old house in the village of Kurecik, Malatya, Turkey. In a region where it’s still not hard to find abandoned church buildings a century or two old, the arches over these windows belie an architectural tradition older and higher than a square stone Turkish village house might normally be expected to reflect. Canon EOS Rebel XTi, ISO-400, f/11, 1/200 sec.
