I've been to Istanbul twice before, but this time felt different:
1. Snow. Seeing a city covered in snow is like seeing one for the first time. Even still, Istanbul never ceases to amaze me.
2. Angles. I tried to take the path less travelled (wasn't always successful). I stayed in new districts, walked down strange roads and used the drone to see the city from a new perspective. Seeing a less 'instagrammable' day-to-day gives you a better idea of what life is really like somewhere.
3. Spirituality. As a Muslim, the public acceptance of the call to prayer is something that I'm still not completely used to. Sitting in a place of worship and seeing people that look different and sound different, makes you thankful for what you do have in common. A religion. A way of life. I'm glad I got to live this trip before Ramadan began, it got my mind right.

I tried to convey this all in this short film. Hope you enjoy.

P.S. The extended trip will be on Youtube in the coming weeks, including the backstory of that emergency plane landing in Germany.
