They either may attract as they remind us of our own youth, or as the just do the opposite, showing us an alien world.

Nice stuff. Why do street shot always look better from a foreign country and in the distant past?

It's a human condition. When we see something every day it becomes mundane. It's like those people that live in Hawaii with their bumper stickers that say "Ho hum, another boring day in paradise".

The art of life is to see with fresh eyes in our daily existence.

Truly wonderful photographs! Makes one want to get up and go visit Istanbul again.

I would like to reactivate this thread in order to dedicate it to Ara Güler, a great photographer who I just discovered.

I have bought his book about Istanbul (with a foreword by Orhan Pamuk) and am currently reading a few interviews, articles etc. I am touched by his approach, as well as by his life story. It has helped me to better define who I want to be as a photographer.

I am collecting data and will try to write up a summary of his approach and philosophy.

I accidently created a new thread about Ara Güler, having forgotten that I already created this one.

I wanted to revive it to draw some attention to this somewhat forgotten artist.

Thanks for clarifying- I did not want to claim authorship of this thread, so good to have that sorted out.
