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. These concepts are the presence of my photo. For this reason i couldn’t walk through Istanbul’s streets this much. I witness the truth of life which we try to deny, leave and hide. I take notes with my photographs. If my diary had helped us to understand and be close to the others facing with ourselves thanks to my witness.
