lemontwist | otra reseña | Sep 4, 2023 | A narrated gritty street photographer palette. I saw an act of kindness is about my stay in Istanbul during the winter of 2016. Through random walks through Turkey’s metropole I intended to capture the city in a time when its inhabitants are dealing with a Syrian refugee crises, suicide bombings by the Islamic State, conservative religious street gangs and the lingering of a civil war in the East. The images in this book are shot with an iphone4 in the districts of Beyoglu, Fatih and Kadiköy.

petervanbeveren | Jun 6, 2019 | I guess the author decided to stay true to her title, because I am given only frustratingly small, random snapshots of her life from here and there instead of a woven tapestry of who she is and how she got there. And that's a real shame, because I really would have liked to get to know her better.
This "graphic novel" is too unstructured for me and too often veers toward giant pages of text with spot illustrations. The book only really comes alive for me during the few pages where the creator uses a traditional comic book format of panels and word balloons; she shows a real talent for dialogue and pacing on those pages.
And, to get real petty and peevish, her lettering irritated the hell out of me. It varied from page to page and even on the same page from cursive to printed, from mixed case to all-caps, from free-form hand lettering to an imitation of typeset. And often, to be quirky I guess, on pages with mixed-case lettering, she would capitalize every letter "L" regardless of where it appeared in a word. On other pages, be it mixed-case or all-caps, every "i" would be lower case. AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHH!
