One Day One Photo / Bir Gün Bir Fotoğraf (İstanbul)
My photographs are my diary,
I go out every day. For get away “from the concerns which ruins the best moments.” I try to witness every moment of life in the street. I took photos of the moments which i try to put in my diary. The balance of the street which can be magnificent and infernal at the same time helps me to breathe. I try to go everywhere, when i reach the place i suddenly think that there are lots of places to see and i hit the road again. People, sea, pavements, animals, nature… Every moment comes up on the previous one. Most of this destruction, the other side of the life , poverty and the other concepts concerns me. These concepts are the presence of my photo. For this reason i couldn’t walk through Istanbul’s streets this much. I’m on the way for a month.For a month i get close to the lives which we pass through and afraid to get near, for you. Especially for myself! I witness the truth of life which we try to deny, leave and hide. I take notes with my photographs. For a month i shared my notes with you. If my diary had helped us to understand and be close to the others facing with ourselves thanks to my witness.
