Eastern Anatolia *

A journey from the north of Turkey down to Kurdistan through the Armenian, Georgian and Iranian borders, to witness the dramatic changes of landscape and cultures in an ever revolving cross road of humanity. I use a medium format camera, shooting black&white and color. The scans are native from negative, with no color correction. I try to eliminate any esthetic filter between me and the subject in order to to retrieve the dignity of old times photography. My attempt is to document a specific time and a place in modern history. My focus is on the humanity of the people inhabiting border territories and conflict zones. _ GGR 2014
