About
In "Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names," Magnum photographer Alex Webb displays his particular ability to distill gesture, colour and contrasting cultural tensions into a single, beguiling frame. He presents a vision of Istanbul as an urban cultural centre, rich with the incandescence of its past- a city of minarets and pigeons rising to the heavens during the early morning call to Muslim prayers- yet also a city riddled with ATM machines and clothed in designer jeans.

Alex Webb, what more can I say, fast delivey and in perfect condition, I wish I could afford to buy more , but like my other faves such as Constantine Manos the books tend to be very expensive.
