Yazdan kalma bir günden
Ya da "Çölde Çay" filminden
Bir sahne var aklımda, oyuncular sanki biziz
Mutsuzuz, ikimiziz
Kimi aşklar hiç bitmezmiş
Bizimkisi bitenlerden
Sevmeye yeteneksiziz

İki yabancı, iki yabancı
Birlikte ama yanlız
İki yabancıyız..........


...this one reminds me of a turkish song that i love by Teoman featuring Sebnem Ferah... "iki yabanci" (two strangers)... the lyrics are about a couple in love... with time they drift apart, seeing each other as strangers...

"...two strangers... together but lonely, we're two strangers..."


iki yabanci


...taken at porta sempione by the arco della pace...

Selam sevgili Korkut !
Çok başarılı bir siyah beyaz çalışma daha, senin bereketli mutfaktan.
Çevremizdeki herşey, her yer iyi bir fotoğraf konusu oluşturur için iyi bir örnek.
"İki yabancı" da konuyu çok iyi desteklemiş.
Gözüne, gönlüne sağlık
Tebrikler, selam ve sevgilerle
MESUT ILGIM

Sen gittiğinde moda sezonuydu ve etrafta da modeller mi vardı? Böyle bişey demiş miydin ben mi uyduruyorum hatırlayamadım gece vakti. Modeller güzel olunca merdivenler, parkeler falan geri planda kalmış diye gördüm ben bunda :P
Sonra da katıldın mı onlara? (gülmekten tabii, LOL... fazla Marquise de Sade okumamalı)...

Kız fena sinirlenmiş:) bu bakışı da konsepte iyi uymuş. Çok şey anlatan bir kompozisyon, çok beğendim.Barışmışlardır inşallah. Eline sağlık.

Şarkı süper uymuş. Her bakımdan çok çok güzel, çok çok duygu yüklü bir foto. Beğenmemek elde değil...

I love the girl's angry expression in this one, tell me you have a portrait with her only.

well its your scene no doubt, each of your photos have a personality screaming your name ;)

Hi Korkut.
I don't know the song that you mentions in your note,but,reading the little lyric you have write about it,I think your shot must be included in the music video...,it represents exactly what you tell in the note about the lyric..Good choice the B&W,it sometime give a little more romantic or sad touch.
It remind me to another song from a singer-songwriter from Spain,Carlos Chaouen,which say (more or less translating..) "..and it haven't more adversaries than we back to back.."
Best regards,
Sonsoles.

Insanlarin fotografini bu kadar yakindan nasil onlar fark etmeden cekebiliyorsun? Ben ne zaman yeltensem vizorun icinden adamlarla goz goze geliyorum, hersey tum sahne bozuluveriyor... :(((
S&B tabi ki guzel ama, siyah beyazin bu kadar belirgin olmasi daha da guzel, gri yok hic, giysiler siyah, ortam beyaz, cok guzel coooook.
Insanlara caktirmadan yakalama becerine saglik :)

Hello korkut. They are not on speaking terms. Your current photo is very alive and realistic. It explains itself. The scene is well observed and photographically realized. Exemplary grey tones. A picture worth seeing and a good study of the human with each other. Best regards, Wolfgang.

And for me this shot reminds me ...strangers in the night of F. Sinatra :)Don't know why :)
Her expression says the she is not really "happy" ..I love this scene
Huuugs

I should never put her behind me-:)
A strange couple composition!
Good morning Korkut, right to post it in BW

Hi korkut,
J'aime ce POV , ce couple se donne le dos ils non pas l'air heureux, ils se donne le dos et je trouve cela dommage bien vus pour le N/B pour cette photo.
Amitiés,
Rosa.

Colde Cay (niye boyle cevirmislerse??) / Sheltering Sky buna biraz agir. Burada modern zamanlarin kuskun asiklari var, bakimli, havali, simarik bir somurtkanlik icinde. Fotograf cok sevimli, netligi de super. Neyle cektin bunu?

Bu arada Colde Cay film olarak vasat ama kitap olarak inanilmazdir; saykokillırkesköse arkadaslarimizin okudugu Marquise de Sade gibi matrak diil tabii, ama okumadiysan tavsiye ederim. )))

felt the same once ...so i find myself in this shot:D
great one dear ,must be my favorite :)
lovely song .. i don't understand the lyrics
congratulation once again dear ,always a pleasure seeing your post :)
hugs,anes

Merhaba Korkutummm,

Merhaba Korkut

Superb symmetry & graphism, in this outstanding b&w image, with good sharpness & pov. The dark shirts stand out well against the lighter bg. Well done!

Italya'da çekilmiş fotolara bakarken bu kompozisyon çok hoşuma gitti bir de baktım ki çeken tanıdık bir isimmiş:)Kızın suratındaki kızgın ifade harika , acaba merak ettim kız bu kadar sinirliyken sen fotoğrafı çektikten sonra yanındaki çantayı alıp çocuğun kafasına attı mı :o)

Hej Korkut!
Interesting reportorial photo. Good frame and composition. I like the light and colours.
Have a nice weekend
Krzysztof

I guess that it's a sign of modern times...At least they are sharing the same pillow :) which means that they aren't strangers and have some intimacy. Very well seen and captured Korkut. You have a good eye for these situations. The b&w enhances the drama of non-comunication problem.
Enjoy the weekend,
ricardo

Hi Korkut! Excellent and ideal idea! When I was to the age of young men and speak two young persons between them, it was difficult, him allowed, the society of big persons as mischief, no moral. Today apart from erotic, between two young individuals exists also the simple friendship, and this is right(>::-)
Thanks..Georgios

a nice one Korkut,
a very artful shot of yours again, good pov and nice quality, good composing shot, have a good weekend.
gr. jaap

Hello Korkut,
sitting on the same towel, shoulder's contact, but everybody assorted in his/her own stormy thoughts. So intimate and so detached at the same time and the music you found describes perfectly the scene. A work of art for the eyes as for the ears. A striking image and the black and white enhances the mood. Bravo.
Kind Regards.
Stella

Excellent scene, Korkut, surely one must imagine a story behind it. Good idea to use B&W, giving more strength. Regards, Daniel

Good evening Korkut

A daily life scene,that`s for sure.
Even if you wouldn`t making few references,we would imagine that it`s about two "strangers" in love.I like the scene,the story,the message.

But,who didn`t lived or felt the same feeling,at least once in his life?.Strange feeling.She looks really sad,pensive.Hope they find an alternative,finally. :-)
I would like to see some DOF,a nice bokeh,but it`s just fine,doesn`t matter very much.
A beautiful moment from the real life.My compliments.

My kind regards

Hi Korkut,
Splendid daily life shot with expressive composition. Very good choice the B&W, quality is excellent. Suggestive shot, Have a nice Sunday

Hi Korkut,

great shot! They look a couple just after a bad conversation. Her look is really nice and it translates that moment so well. Lovely b&w compo, my friend!
Regards,
Carlos

Merhaba korkut.

Excellent picture. I like how the looking in the opposite direction and the face of the woman is excellent.

Rgs, Oscar

Hello Korkut,
Strangers? sharing the same seat so close? well we never know...
Nevertheless, I like the way that are seating back against back with the classy, classical look we are used to see at Italians streets.
Your B&W is fantastic.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hello Korkut,
an excellent view. Life. To me it's almost funny to see how the girl is pouting, she seems really angry, yet, there is still body contact by the buttocks, so I guess all will go well:-))). Very well seen, the light is brilliant, as always with you, and I like the very smooth look of the skin.

TFS, Take care
Michèle

Merhaba Korkut bey,
kızda tipik italyan güzelliği var.ama çok sinirlenmiş.hala oturduğuna göre genç adamı seviyor bence.biraz kapris yapıyor gibi.bu modern tiplere bu modern şarkı sözleride pek uymuş hani.S/B ve ışıkta harika olmuş.Kadraj süper.ellerinize sağlık.selamlar.

Merhaba file Korkut
Strangers for the time being only. Their touch on the back is the assertiveness of each other and at the same time their exploring potential others, as demanded by nature. I like it!
Argiris

Korkut,
you captured that idea of two people together and yet strangers probably for most of the time of their life extremely well. Did you see if they were quarreling before placing themselves in that position? The nice detail that really unifies them is the coat on which both are sitting on it. Very good to present it in B&W.

Hi Korkut,
Excellent clarity to this fine mood photo. The b&w treatment fits this somber image well. The young lady does not look too happy and it looks likek the young man has his work cut out for him to turn that frawn to a smile.
