Photographer's Note

In fact there is no need to put a note here. This is only a woman going home with the woods she collected from here and there.

İyi geceler Bülent,

bence harika bir fotoğraf, bi kere teknik açıdan netlik ve renkler harika, kadraj da öyle. Ayrıca komposizyona ne demeli bir yerde eşeği ile yük taşıyan bir kadın, tam karşısında karayollarının en büyük yük taşıyıcısı bir TIR.

Nefis, ne desem boş aslında :)

Ellerinize sağlık,

SArhan.

This picture denotes the contrast between different parts of the Turkish society. The truck, with the face of the driver barely visible behind the dark windscreen, is like a paradigm of modernity about to suppress the traditional way of life.
Great shot, Bulent. The composition is very impacting. Thanks for sharing

Iyi aksamlar Bülent,
I like the contrasts in your composition; first it seem to be a yesterday against today/tomorrow, but your contry has so many different faces and on some places there is no possibility of working and accessing with machines...

People on the traditional countryside can hardly survive in big cities, live is to expensive and the narrow community of neighbours and families hardly exists...

The coin has two sides!

Perfectly done
Selamlar
Knut

What a contrast
the truck, modern times
the lady, still traditional working hard to survive

the gap between old and new, rich and poor, tradition and economic culture, becomes bigger, maybe these two almost seperate worlds still benefits each other, hopely ?

Indeed the shot tells it all by itself so clear that we all think in the same pattern, very well done Bulent, a deep meaningful TE shot.

Hi Bulent,
Well to me this photo has a strong contrast opposing a traditional Turkey symbolized by the lady and the modern one symbolized by the big truck. To be honest the fact they are going in opposing directions worries me a little bit...
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves
