Hi Asher,
The following pictures were the ones I have shared way back in 2009. You have a very long memory, lol.
Cem,
Thanks for taking the effort to identify and locate these precious images. I appreciate that very much.
Let me add some comment on what this find might mean to us all. Once the work has satisfied the artist, it is art! But how will it fare as "Art" for others? The test is time. When the work, (now Independant its creator), is strong enough to be treasured by another, (person who speaks about it), then there is "air in its nostrils", proof it has begun its life as a work that had survival quality. A photograph that can remain embedded in the memories of others years after the first glimpse and interest has proven worth.
This is not "manipulated" as some art in collections, as the process is natural. When a person steeped in art culture, (as I immodestly claim to be), is attached by memory to such works, they pass through a gauntlet of progressively stringent competition with other likely contenders for rank and worth in the packed libraries of the mind. The latter is always, for its own protection, discarding as much memory, (of no imaginable utility), as possible.
So these pictures, earned their place in my mind as "Art" and I offer that they're also worth entering your own select collections!
Asher
