Hot money - Zor para Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a capture from a glass beads makers workshop in the small Aegean village Görece close to İzmir.
Here in about half a dozen small workshops, masters are producing in authentic glass kilns, glassbeads called in turkish "nazar boncuğu" and used as a protection against evil eyes.
This kilns are selfmade with mud and mudbrick and has often 3 openins. İn front of them 3 glassmakers are sitting all the day and producing around the clock glass beads.
At WS I you can see those beads and at WS II, the simple tools the glassmakers are using.
Scanned from a 35 mm diapositive.
Here another capture from the same place :

Bu kare, İzmir yakınlarındaki Görece köyünden bir nazar boncuk atölyesi.
Buradaki yarım düzine kadar camcı ocağında sayıları gittikçe azalan camcı ustaları, son derece primitif ortamlarda, çamurdan yaptıkları fırınlarda gün boyunca nazar bncuğu üretiyorlar.
3 gözlü bu fırınların herbir gözünün önündeki camcı ustası bütün gün boyunca boncuk üretir.
WS I de bu nazar boncuklarından bir grup, WS II de ise boncuk üretiminde kullandıkları basit aletleri görüyorsunuz.
Bu kare de 35 mm lik bir dia'dan tarandı.

Bu kare'de atölyenin genel bir görünümü var :

Merhaba Mesut,

Ouch...this is hot. Great and very interesting shot of man at work. It looks like if you'd gotten any closer, your camera would have melted! Good scan job too!

Merhaba Mesut bey
Direkt flaş kullanılmasına rağmen hiçte rahatsız edici değil. Hatta canlı renkleri ile oldukça başarılı. Gayet güzel .
Bol fotoğraflı günler dileği ile.

Hi Mesut! She is dynamic capture from the laboratory of treatment of irons with the hands. The intensity and the hard work are visible in the craftsman that the portrait you have here. Good imprinting

Bonjour Mesut.
Ces yeux se retrouvent un peu partout, en Grèce, en Russie ...
La photo est très documentaire sur un métier traditionnel. La position assise à même le sol doit remonter à la nuit des temps. Seuls les morceaux de rail et les lunettes actualisent la scène.
Excellent !
Jacques
