I was supposed to meet with one of my friends living in the UK in Istanbul to spend a few days together.
His brother accompanied me, and we found a hotel with a magnificent view of the Bosphorus.
In this picture, you can see the hotel in Taksim Square, which is not ours; I took a picture of it because it seemed so beautiful at the intersection of two streets.
We went to Taksim Square that day.
There was a local pop-up market in Taksim Square that had various goods.
What attracted me was a book store run by an older man in the market, where locals came to buy books.
Reading paper books is disappearing in this age of the Internet, and now, with the advent of AI, everyone will ask AI for answers to their questions.
I personally do not have time to read books in my daily life anymore.
Sometimes, when I open Instagram, it may last for a couple of hours, and I realized I was wasting my life watching meaningless photos or videos.
I processed these photos again with the software I made. Software name is WaterMarker. I'm thinking of abbreviation of its name to be WM for convenience. How do you feel about renaming to WM when I release it? I find it hard to decide since the full name clearly describes the purpose of the application, but on the other hand, this application has developed into much more than a watermarking tool, so I need to decide between them!
I'm adding various functions to it every day. Yesterday, I added an artistic function called motion/stretch effect that I like.
