About Josh Wentz

My photography is a hobby to help me discover and share with others the beauty and depth I find as I travel and work in Turkey, mostly in central Anatolia. From the capital city to small towns and villages, the people, buildings, history and nature of this country are always worth sharing and remembering.

Turkey’s capital city of Ankara is currently my home, but I also enjoy the opportunity to occasionally travel through the larger Anatolian plateau and also to the coastal regions near the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean. The smaller towns and villages in these areas particularly interest me, being off the beaten path and full of interesting settings and friendly, unpretentious people. And, of course, the city of Istanbul contains more experiences and photographic opportunities than I could explore in a lifetime.

The goal of this photoblog is to share a little more of the stories, experiences, people and (occasionally) techniques that lie behind the pictures I make. After years of being an engineer and a businessman, it’s pretty hard for me to take myself seriously as an artist, so I don’t really expect you to. But hopefully that won’t keep you from enjoying the photography and the stories to be found here. Feel free to comment if you like what you see, or just want to say hi.
