Health in Red Photo

Photographer’s Note

This guy is preparing pomegranate+orange juice. While a glass of this juice costs at least 8 € in Europe, it is only 1,5 € in Istanbul. Why not come and taste it, for cheap? :))

Studies indicate that pomegranate juice reduces arterial plaque, reduces systolic blood pressure, and reduces LDL cholesterol. Additionally, a study at UCLA involving 50 men who had had surgery or radiation for prostate cancer (yet still had detectable levels of PSA afterwards) found that drinking one eight-ounce glass of pomegranate juice each day extended the average doubling time of PSA from 15 months to 54 months.

One 250 ml (8.45 oz) glass of pomegranate juice provides approximately 50% of an adult's recommended daily allowance (RDA) of the vitamins A, C and E. Pomegranate juice provides 100% RDA of folic acid and a substantial amount of potassium and niacin.

Ağzım sulandı, nerede bu mekan Beyoğlu falan mı? Elemanın eli eldivenli olduğuna göre kalite bir yer herhalde. Narların kırmızısı da süper olmuş.

Antioksidan yüklü, hayat dolu bir kare. Bu canlılık, suyu sıkanın yüzüne bile yansımış. Afiyet olsun.

bostankorkulugu (33536) 2008-01-29 15:19

sanki sahne ışıkları altında nar sıkma gösterisi yapıyor...
kitsch bir ortam ama gözalıcı renk paletiyle ve abinin mutlu yüz ifadesiyle çok şık bir kare olmuş, eline sağlık rigocan...

o makinadan bi tane de bana lazım... ama nar sıkmak için değil...

Merhaba Deniz! Good picture and full fruits and juices! I love the pomegranate and in particular a drink with hands-manufacture with alcohol, that makes in the house my spouse and is very aromatic! Recipe I do not know! I greet

Merhaba Deniz,
Hoş çıkmış. Adamın ifadesini çok güzel yakalamışsın. WB gayet doğru gözüküyor. Yanlış hatırlamıyorsam florosan lamba idi. Pozlamasıda gayet yerinde. Ellerine sağlık.

ninaL (19514) 2008-01-30 1:19

Helo, Deniz.
Very good scene !!!
Full action and satisfaction.
Good compo.
Best regards. Grazyna.

riclopes (32993) 2008-01-30 2:27

Olá Deniz (yes!!! I got it right, this time!), this is a great shot of a person and it surprises me that you said on the other day that you still can't make close portraits...well, problably not exactely this (my accuracy of previous thoughts aren't reliable ;-) and may be you were talking about close-portraits but I really like this colorful and warm environment with the favorite fruit of my wife filling the foreground. There's even some yellow flowers in the background to make the place cosy and I can feel that he likes what he does for a living. I also like to eat this expensive fruit but only if I don't have to peel them. 8euros is problaby an exhageration for Portugal...but the problem is that pomegranate juice can hardly be found in Lisbon. For 1,5euro I would drink it everyday. Very good daily life post.
Cheers,
ricardo

Nar suyuna gel nar suyuna gelll:)). Fotoğraf zaten çekici, notu da okuyunca insanın oraya koşa koşa gidesi geliyor. Hem de sudan ucuz. Işık yeteneğinizi burada da konuşturmuşsunuz. Elinize sağlık.

batalay (20920) 2008-01-30 20:58

Merhaba Deniz,

You make an outstanding case for pomegranate juice. I feel like going on an exclusive pomegranate diet, not just because of the health benefits, but as a still life, the table stacked with blood-red fruit, it looks delicious. I'm not surprised by the low price for the delicacy in Turkey.

Selam ve saygilar,

Bülent

doubay (5023) 2008-01-31 7:05

Hi Rigo!
This is one of my sweetest memories from our trip to Istanbul: Cheap fresh juice everywhere. I guess, I have never drunk so much of it before. Nice shot of a very characteristic aspect of your city. Btw: In Western Europe fresh juice is expensive indeed, but not as expensive as you write.
Regards
Andreas

jean11-3 (2799) 2008-01-31 7:18

Hello Deniz, I do like pictures of people about their daily work; this man looks to be enjoying his job.The lighting is spot-on,showing his features and also highlighting the pomegranates.
Very good composition.Good sharpness and colour.Interesting notes too.
Tfs, regards Jean.

jaywalker (12190) 2008-01-31 8:34

Hi Deniz, I love this working photo, the cluster of pomegranate are very well angled across the shot, the dark contrast is excellent, wonderful colours through-out &, an interesting note, kind regards Wilson.

InasiaJones (20229) 2008-02-01 1:20

Hi Deniz,

Although there is a clear dominant of red, I like to see the whole spectrum of juicy colours surrounding the "juicer"...

Christmas tree are still present on the 26th of January? You are more festive than we are then!... Excellent daily life shot and very well documented.

Cheers!

André

tehanu_f (6874) 2008-02-01 6:12

Nefis bir isik. Rengarenk meyvelere cok yakismis. Cektigin en siradan fotografta bile sahene bir isik (ya da golge) var, bu senin imzan gibi. O aletlerden ben de almak istiyorum. Bendeki elektirikli sey cok dandik, kolum yoruluyor.

setenay (7604) 2008-02-01 13:31

merhaba;
"Its ruby red juice is chock full of nutrients; its taste slightly sour but pleasantly tart. Its delicate blossoms spruce up the garden, its seeds add flavor to food, and the fruit itself brings beauty to the home..."..Türk Havayolları yayını Skylife Şubat sayısından alınmıştır..istanbul havaalanında oturmuş izmir uçağını bekleyen biri olarak bu sayıdaki yazıyla fotoğrafınız denk geldiği için notuda buraya koymak istedim..biraz alkol ile şimdi çok iyi olurdu..:)
elinize sağlık
