Dina+Ramsey are hosting a three-day wedding party for family and friends here in Istanbul. Today was day one - a boat cruise on the Bosphorus Straight. Photographer Steve Simon is assisting me here. He and I encountered student protests on our way to the party. Then Eric Clapton's tour manager asked me if I could "please go away" when he saw me with my gear standing in the lobby of the hotel just as Clapton and Steve Winwood were about to board a boat for their concert tonight. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. The dinner party is themed 1001 Arabian Nights.
