- Hi all ! I'm "noborders", because and am not too fond of divisions or boundaries + feel at home in many places in the world, but fear some overland border crossings in Asia and Africa... When I joined TE to post some photos from schools in Haiti, I did not know anything about PP and I don't use photoshop since a long time, so your critiques and suggestions are most welcome, I've still a lot to learn ! My interest goes mainly to documentary photos and photos of people in daily life situation.
Almost all my photos are now taken with small compacts, so the quality is not great (the reason why I'm preferring them, here :o))) ... I cannot consıder myself (yet) as a 'photographer', rather an 'old traveller', tryıng to dıscover thıngs dıfferently and nowadays ıf possıble, avoıdıng hotels and lıvıng wıth local famılıes... My 1st aim here is to portray as best as I can the people that I meet while travelling and I don't want to aim to esthetism, rather to a down-to-earth realism, if possible in amusing situations.
Ex tour guide/tour leader, now re-visiting the countries where I was based with other purposes (sometımes, visits of NGOs that I support)... ... Spent earlier more than 3 years of my life in India touring the country (more time in the countries around India), but have acquired there terrible problems with noise, although IMO it is still the most interesting place on earth... Now, going often to Turkey and slowly learning the language there. Also very interested in all countries with Persian language (Iran, India (Urdu), parts of Uzbekistan and Afghanistan etc).
Here are some of my photos, regrouped by themes : - scans of old photos from Asia (among others : Bangladesh and W. Bengal),
- Haiti - everyday life, .../ - along the Atlantic coast of Morocco, .../ a travel to Andhra Pradesh (India), 2008
- in Turkey - 2 travelogues : Following the eastern borders and From lake Van till Black Sea (part 1) and same travel (part 2) ; some impressions of Istanbul, Cappadocia (and about squatting in Cappadocia), etc.
And here are all the fine TE members that I've had the chance to meet sofar (chronological order), hoping to meet many more in the future : canan (Canan Doganlar, Turkey), cengiz (Cengiz Topbas, Turkey), oochappan (Henk Jacobs, Belgium), rigoletto (Deniz Taskin, Turkey), kagemusha (Mehmet Ali Oral, Turkey), keribar (Izzet Keribar, Turkey), MarcT (Marc Trippaerts, Belgium), France (France Demarbaix, Belgium), PixelTerror (Jean Yves Rovre, France), Philippe (Philippe Schillings, Belgium), pcp (Senthil Kumar, India), alibasarir (Ali Basarir, Turkey), Merline (Michele Gruber Caelen, Belgium), tehanu_f (Fusun Konyali, Turkey), burGu (Burcu Yakartas, Turkey), Ozaslan (Cem Hakan Özaslan, Turkey), Prometheus (Levent Ersoy, Turkey), nedimurcan (Nedim Urcan, Turkey), drhad (Ali Dönmez, Turkey), MarianneS (Marianne Snakers, Belgium), Muse (Denise Fontaine, Belgium), Ptitcaid (Logan Vrij, Belgium), dkeus31 (didier keus, Belgium), eleparc (Eric Le Parc, France), sohrab (sohrab hura , India), fixed (Arnaud De Juin, France), and various ex members... - Member Since
