Photographer's Note
Going around in cirlces is also a metaphor for life. Often, we take circuitous routes to reach our destinations; or not reach them. If we do not have goals that we are striving to meet, we end up in circles. If we do not have values to guide our internal compasses, we will go in circles; repeating pattern after pattern, stuck in the vortex of an unfulfilled life. Relationships often follow a cyclical pattern, as we go from one dysfunctional one to another. We complain about our dead end jobs or our health. Complaining is another way of going around in circles; it is not addressing the issues at hand.
Take the blindfold off, find your own personal GPS, and go in the direction of a fulfilling, authentic, and passionate life...

Good Morning Korkut,
I enjoyed your photograph and your notes.
A fine pov, takes the viewer on a circuitous route to the focal figure, who appears still to be moving on! The b&w symbolises the lack of imagination in this never ending circle.
Wll seen, well photographed.
My warm regards,
Bv :-)

Hi Korkut.
I always love the hard B&W and contrasts you present, the light and shapes come forth, I have been experimenting with this kind of finish, influenced by yourself and also the likes of Daido Moriyama. Nice work again my friend.
Cheers

Hello Korkut,
An expressive picture and note. The picture conveys your thoughts so well. I love the grainy tones and the circular forms with the man, head down, walking through. A wonderful image from you as usual. Thankyou for showing this.
Kind Regards, Ann

Merhaba,
insan lekesiyle kattığın nüans çıtayı epeyce yükseltmiş, son derece hoşa giden bir mimari ve grafik görüntü.. Eline sağlık..

Korkut
Une excellente photo noir et blanc avec une composition fantastique. Même si c'est certainement volontaire de ta part, je ne suis quand même pas totalement convaincu par le "bruit" de l'image.
Amicalement

Sevgili Korkut,
This is a sensational artistic shot, with a compelling philosophical note. The spiral ramp is an effective metaphor for life and its vicissitudes. Bayraminizi kutlarim,
Sevgi ve selamlar,

You have a great gallery Korkut where every composition is well thougt and original. A clever photography.
This one is great, catch our spirit. Seems a metaphor to the human life.
The man couldn't be better placed. Perfect in b&w which emphasizes the light and the man. Positive feeling because he's walking in the light and negative feeling because he's in a spiral. A shto which let place to our imagination.
Great shot.
Magali
