01_0709_00951“Time in Turkey” sounded like a great title when Zaman, a photography publication in Istanbul, invited me, along with 24 internationally acclaimed photographers, to document Turkey in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the creation “Zaman Media”.
I spent four days in December, under heavy and cold rainstorms, to photograph the ceremony of “Ashura” in a middle class suburb west of Istanbul.It was a great collective work experience as most of the photographers were old friends and Istanbul is one of my favorite cities!Our work was then published in a book and has been displayed in exhibitions around the world.The last stop for exhibition: Grand Central Station in NYC…NOW!

If you are in New York in the coming days, I believe it will be warmer inside Grand Central Station than outside… and, you will have the chance to enjoy “Time in Turkey!”

“Time in Turkey” Photography Exhibition – Grand Central Terminal, Vanderbilt Hall East Side, New York, 2-9 January 2014.
