i love the sharing of culture, ideas, experience, knowledge and abilities. so, if you have any questions, please let me know.

some of my photos have stories or quotes, others just stand for themselves. of course, it is often what time and energy i have... i try to make the best of it, time permitting

-----------------------------

please all,

help put an end to war, that is destruction of so much that is all of our lives.... sharing, helping one another, protecting, building, discovering, supporting should be on everyones' agenda, worldwide, universe wide...

war was a solution in the past, it is not a solution any longer, we have much better solutions at hand and we must use them. we must leave "us" and "them" behind --it is "we", the human race everywhere...

peace, love, freedom and prosperity to everyone...

a "battle", is a battle in a team against time to find a cure for cancer, a battle is battle against natural forces to bring clean water to a village, to bring electricity to a remote region, a battle agaist ignorance to "educate", a battle against "can't do", to discover, to alleviate...

"War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery


walk the path "with the heart... "

--------------------------------------------------

i love art and seeing and transcribing the world i live in which everything is a tool for art, any camera will do, any image is a statement and a way of seeing...
i love literature and words...
i love science and mathematics...
i love music...
cultures, languages, nature...
creativity, ideas, invention, sharing, co operation, ....
but time and energy isn't enough to work through all, so it seems to me that i just dabble in things....
i love life and living, and feeling and thinking, so at times i free flow without direction, only to look back and draw from that time in which i seemingly do nothing...

    "I go through my day, in my town--rainy, cold, dreary; then I visit Hulya in (my town) Portland, and I see how the lights reflect on the puddles, how the rain streaks on the shop windows, and the delicious food inside, how the flowers are budding, and how the sun looks breaking through the clouds. She sees, and photographs from an optimistic, autobiographical vantage point, and each visit leaves me with "fresh eyes", seeing a place I thought I knew, but really didn't."

    "Hülya captures all the lovely moments that make me smile...she has such a good eye for the little things that make life so exciting...and i like her ability to find exceptional angles of view...and the way she documents events, incidents and things around her hometown Portland with her camera.

    She's also a thoughtful friend who always finds kind and encouraging words with her comments. I appreciate her support and friendship. I'm so glad we have met through flickr hülya. Sevgiler!"
