La Vie est dure sans confiture

Eva, a multitalented textile specialist from Germany lives in Istanbul since the last thirty years with her husband and two daugthers. Being a professional in fashion business, her real passion relies within the beautiful smells of the lavander, Daphne and other various herbs and flowers that she picks up in the upper hills of a peaceful island "Büyük Ada" , just an hour away from heavily populated (18 million) mega city Istanbul. Eva can spend hours, days and weeks just preparing her amazing home made organic jams, jellies and marmalades. Each time, she comes up with new ideas, combinations, inventing new recipes, she fills each jar with an inspirationally artful love. This little intro was shot in my one and only day in the island, and it is to be my first trial with my brand new Canon 7D. I did avoid texts and narrations as all I wanted to do is to give a glimpse of a day, from Eva's island...
