  Galata; the street that I've been walking for eight years in my youth. The breeze has just been started, heavy snow fall is on the way. Clouds are dense and the alley is dark. There are two of us. The man walking in front and I. I had two reasons to choose black & white. First, the street is full of dirt and I did not want them to pop up in the frame. Second, it was dark and the path was gradually lit. I needed as limited colors as possible to catch the contrast I want.
