A Londoner living in Istanbul.

Flickr keeps me entertained because I enjoy looking at pictures from around the world, sharing ideas with people around the world and developing my photographic skills with the inspiration that I acquire from around the world.

My photos are a reflection of what I find aesthetically pleasing, interesting or amusing during my regular wanderings.

I hope you enjoy my stream.

A regrettable word of warning. If you fave my pictures without having a stream of your own available to me, I'll be suspicious of your motives and will automatically block you. Sorry.

    "This photostream has to be one of the most creative I have come across on Flickr.
    Dik has a unique talent of spotting a great picture often out of a seemingly mundane scene."

    "The guy here has Vision. Quite simply, he is one of those talented individuals who just Sees.

    Each of his masterpieces look so familiar, yet when you think about it, impossible to re-create. Truly great art."

    "Well, to be honest, I'm kind of lost for words about Dik - but in a totally GOOD way! I never would have dreamt that abstract, bordering on the ridiculous sometimes, could be so damn interesting! Being a landscape/flowers/cats kinda gal, the last thing I thought I would be drawn to is a couple of metal bars with light shining through, or maybe three rows of blue on a roof. But Dik has removed my blinkers and shoved orange in my face till it hurts. And you know what? I am LOVING it. Thanks Dik. The testimony of your brilliant eye is looking at all of us, trying to imitate you, and attempting to capture the seemingly natural skill you have for photographing the 'oddest' things in the world. Thanks Dik - I look forward to seeing many more abstracts. You are an inspiration to us all :-)"

    ""i've never met Scorpocat, so I sometimes wonder how many eyes he has got, apart from the usual 2 of every human being. Certainly he must have a big multidirectional eye for colours, especially lively, vivid, bright, energetic, reinvigorating compositions of colours; then another poligonal one that can spot all the possible tangles of lines, curves, angles and consequent geomertrical compositions; and another forever winking eye always willing to underline the irony which comes out from his images and his comments.
    Maybe one day I'll be able to meet Scorpocat and verify if my hypothesis is appropriate. In the meantime I'll go on watching his wonderful shots. ""

    "Where to start?
    His photographs are inspired, beauty or the absurd found in the simplest of places, colored with the spectrum of an adopted land.
    His comments turn even mundane lanes into a yellow brick road, and at the end, you find a Wizard, his camera a magic wand.
    London slang morphs to Turkish charm, German depth of soul flowers to Dutch culture and through it all the wit and humor of a gentleman opens a lens on the world around us."
