"Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information." Man Ray
"As far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a means of understanding which cannot be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It is a way of life."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson -
"Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field. "
- Peter Adams -
This quotation will show you my understanding of photography:
"The photographer observes the scene, a situation or an object and responds to it by endeavoring to show it as it appears. A large majority of serious amateurs and professionals operate mainly within this tradition. There is, however, a second tradition, that of altering physical reality for the purpose of expressing the photographer's personal response to specific subject matter or to a concept or idea."
A serious amateur, aged 33, living in İzmir, Turkey.
I do appreciate your comments and your critics. Critics teach a lot if you do take it serious and pay attention to the pros and cons of the photo which is criticized. So for the ones who will write critics to me deserve my thankfulness.
By the way, please keep the comments clean. No banners or group logos and awards please. Otherwise I have to delete them since they mean nothing to me. Besides, I do not understand what the logos mean. They add nothing to a photography amateur. Comments will work much better for me.
Sorry to say, but I will just block anyone who has nothing to share, has no body icon and who is just a favorite collector. Flickr is for sharing.
PLEASE DO NOT ADD ME AS A CONTACT UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME PHOTOGRAPHY BACKGROUND. I AM SICK OF THE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS OF WHY MY HANDS ARE SHAKY. FLOU(blur on purpose) IS A WAY OF VISUAL THINKING AND IT IS PART OF THE LANGUAGE OF PHOTOGRAPHY. I HAVE NO INTENTION TO IMPRESS MY VIEWERS. I ONLY SHOOT FOR MYSELF AND I DONT LIKE TO SHOW OFF.

I see my photos blogged in some websites, if you ask for a permission first, there is no problem for me and I'll let; however it is necessarry to ask first.

Sailing "Footprints: Real to Reel" (Ronn ashore) says:
"Sometimes you feel so close to someone you forget about the little things. Or even the things that are important from one aspect but irrelative from the inner connections you can feel with a person.
That, just to say I have not written a testimonial before for Emre because somehow, it seems superfluous, as my appreciation of Emre is self evident.
It is not always my style of photography but, that may be more due to my own limited horizons. But in Emre's photography I see not so much statement-making as question-asking. A form of seeking.
And questions after all are really all we have. Every statement that can be made is in fact, only a question in disguise.
Through that question asking we expose a part of our inner selves. And what I see of Emre is much to my liking. I wish him well in life and hope we will remain friends for a long time to come.
And I also thank him very much for his kindness and the energy expended for the sake of reciprocal appreciation of our photographic endeavors...
Thank you, Emre."11th January, 2010

RHL Pedrosa says:
"Emre is able to bring the unexpected thru his incredible vision and accomplished skills. His work shows a perception for light and form which is very rare in photography today. I see touches of the greats in his work, but with a clear distinctive voice. Renato from Campinas, Brazil."

"I think you need to update your profile. A serious amateur? I think you have proven yourself quite the professional.
Your work is so uniquely yours. I love that about it."16th September, 2009

The Red Pill says:
"Emre is the most original artist I have the pleasure of having as a Flickr friend.
His work reaches into my imagination and invokes feelings that otherwise rests.
His seeing is unique, and is demonstrated in his work. Emre has the skill and imagination of a true artist. He has a gift that not many have.
Emre can photograph many times from the same location and make every image original.
Check his stream if you do not already know his work, it is inspiring."10th September, 2009

Kleidoscope says:
"He paints everything that passes in front of his eyes, abstract visions of his mind full of shadows and distortions of the reality.
Just take a look at in his gallery and enjoy..."10th September, 2009

visualproductivethinking says:
"I love Emre's work, especially the ones with blur. His blur photos are not meaningless as most people's. In his blur photos there are very meaningful and strong associations. He is a visual poet of productive thinking. You really need to have some sophisticated background in order to perceive how he uses the images to associate them to express a message. His photos directly stem from his mental world. I am a big fan of his visual presentations, and one thing, I have even looked up some reference books related to visual thinking and the uses of the symbols in photograhy in order to percieve some of his very abstract work. But it is all worth it. A true recommendation."
